The ugly reason that some Sanders supporters will support Trump ... [View all]

Actually, the Sanders and Trump movements are both fueled by the same sentiment - white working class rage at the loss of white privilege.

The truth is that this latest economic downturn is the first where working class whites felt the pain fully without being largely shielded by white privilege, and they are righteously outraged.

Now to be clear, Sanders' policy prescriptions addressing the income and wealth gaps are the correct ones, while Trump is busy doubling down on intolerance, division, and bigotry.

But, Sanders radical message of revolution does not resonate as much with minorities because they've always known the game is rigged, and they're cool with incremental change through the establishment mechanism they've come to trust.

There is a reason that there will be some bleed over from Sanders supporters into the Trump camp despite the disparate nature of their messages.

And, that reason is ugly.
