Another aspect of the strange circumstances surrounding the 2016 election is that a significant number of Democratic voters are solely responsible for Trump's election victory.
Young Sanders supporters were aggrieved that their candidate didn't get the nomination, and, in their anger and disappointment, they managed to elect Trump.
Newsweek reports, "According to the analysis of the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Survey, fewer than 80 percent of those who voted for Sanders in the Democratic primary did the same for Clinton when she faced off against Trump a few months later.
What's more, 12 percent of those who backed Sanders actually cast a vote for Trump.
"The impact of those votes was significant.
In each of the three states that ultimately swung the election for Trump—Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania—Trump's margin of victory over Clinton was smaller than the number of Sanders voters who gave him their vote."
In Wisconsin, 51,000 Sanders supporters voted for Trump. Trump's margin of victory was 22,000.
In Michigan, 47,000 Sanders supporters voted for Trump. Trump's margin of victory was 10,000.
In Pennsylvania, 116,000 Sanders supporters voted for Trump. Trump's margin of victory was 44,000.
The young Sanders devotees bought Trump's con.

Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution. We welcome all voters who want to fix our rigged system and bring back our jobs.

Bernie Sanders voters helped Trump win and here's proof
Bernie Sanders supporters didn't just stay at home, they voted for Donald Trump in significant numbers last November.
Those young Democrats will vote again in 2020, and no doubt they realize the horrible mistake they made.
