Buddy, those were traditionally Republican voters who decided to vote for someone running as a Democrat. That's how much appeal Bernie had. I know this because I phone banked during the primaries and after people living in open primary states realized how primaries worked and I wasn't calling to fight Trump they got excited hearing about Bernie.

You're imagining that a bunch of voters who voted for Obama suddenly voted for Trump in 2016. Sure bud.

No, not all of them were. There were TONS of democratic voters that bailed when Berne dripped out. Don’t play it down. We were all there.

Oh I definitely bailed. I'm not denying that at all. But we were talking about Bernie supporters who voted for Trump. I voted but I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary.
