Not that weird to me. They were both kind of demagogues who came in as party outsiders and made their mark in the debates calling BS on the whole system, saying their opponents were bought and paid for by moneyed interests. Trump also ran on promises of universal health care and punishing companies that moved jobs out of the US to increase profits.TxAgswin said:
they missed the very weird fact that there was this very odd grouping of voters that appreciated Bernie and Trump at the same time (it's a real thing, look it up).
I don't know why nobody seems to remember this. Trump shocked everyone with his results in the rust belt because he was willing to go there and pretend to be 80's-era Michael Moore if that's what they wanted to hear. Nobody else in the Republican field would've done that.
