    And now that rift is all healed. Also, I'm not buying that Trump got any substantial support from pissed off Sanders supporters. More than likely most of them didn't vote.

    Some definitely did that, although I would wager that most Bernie supporters of that persuasion either didn't vote or voted for Jill Stein.

    A small, mostly insignificant amount of his base may vote for someone else or just stay home, but the majority of his supporters will stick around and just deal with it. It's the independents that are more significant and less easy to predict.

    And the facts are with you on that one. Interestingly, more Bernie supporters backed Hillary in 2016, than Hillary supporters backed Obama in 2008. They don't like to talk about that though...

    I doubt that a significant number of Sanders supporters actually voted for Trump.
