While chaos ensued at the Democratic National Convention, Donald Trump was campaigning for the votes of disenfranchised Bernie Sanders voters saying that only he was left to fight the establishment.

Trump took to Twitter throughout the day, saying that Sanders had abandoned his revolution and the voters who were concerned with issues like trade and jobs.

Clinton betrayed Bernie voters. Kaine supports TPP, is in pocket of Wall Street, and backed Iraq War. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2016

While Bernie has totally given up on his fight for the people, we welcome all voters who want a better future for our workers. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2016

Hard to believe that Bernie Sanders has done such a complete fold. He got NOTHING for all of the time, energy and money. The V.P. a joke! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2016

Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution. We welcome all voters who want to fix our rigged system and bring back our jobs. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 26, 2016

Pundits on mainstream media outlets mocked Trump for his efforts and endlessly repeated that a Pew Poll showed that 90 percent of Bernie Sanders supporters preferred Clinton to the Republican nominee.

Even though they had a difficult time explaining why so many Bernie voters wouldn't support Clinton even after Sanders endorsed her.

Of course the shills for Hillary never mention that the poll is an outlier, a YouGov/Economist poll found that only 54 percent of Bernie Bros were backing Clinton and according to the Red Alert Politics millennial polling average the former First Lady fails to break even 50 percent with Gen-Y voters, many of whom backed Sanders.

On average Clinton is down nearly 20 points from where Obama was in 2012, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein announced on Sunday that she raised $1 million in 10 days from small donors. If Bernie's army was squarely behind the former First Lady, neither fact would be the case.



As for Trump attempting to win over Bernie voters, the media and pundits seem to be uninformed about who actually voted for the Vermont Senator in the primary.

Sanders voters fell into two camps, the young millennial social justice warrior camp -- almost none of whom will be voting for the Republican nominee -- and the Democrats who were simply anti-Hillary, anti-NAFTA, and anti-TPP. Those are the ones Trump is campaigning to win over.

Voters in places like central Pennsylvania, western Ohio, Michigan's upper peninsula, West Virginia, western New York, and Maine's second congressional district all voted for Sanders because he was the de-facto anti-Clinton candidate, but weren't voting him because they were socialists. Politico reported that lifelong Democrats in Mahoning County, Ohio, where Sanders got 40 percent of the vote, were becoming Republicans to support Trump.

That's why exit polls from the Democratic primary showed 62 percent of Sanders supporters in West Virginia said they would cast a ballot for Trump in the fall.

Trump is also playing for Democrat voters that supported Sanders and agree with the Republican nominee on the issue of trade deals -- 48 percent of Sanders supporters in Pennsylvania, 45 percent in Ohio, and 56 percent in Michigan believe free trade destroys jobs in America.

So while the media may mock Trump and point repeatedly to the Pew poll, the Republican nominee has a case to make and enough Sanders supporters who are listening to either him or Jill Stein.
