Apparently quite a few disappointed Bernie Sanders supporters gave their votes to Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016:
So it was not 10 percent of Bernie supporters who did not vote for Hillary. It was over 25 percent! pic.twitter.com/C0OIo4LMra

Area Expert™ Tom Nichols, for one, is still trying to wrap his head around that:
They'd rather have Trump than a Democrat. https://t.co/InhJHKzrNS

Or maybe Hillary Clinton was just that unpalatable.
I fail to see how continuing to flog this dead horse is helpful.

Because he's still running and they'll do it again?

Tom’s very concerned about that prospect.
What does bringing this up now do to bring those into the fold to vote for the nominee in 2020? Shame? You realize that shame isn't a good motivator, right? It tends to have the opposite effect – it hardens positions, not softens them. This is counterproductive.

Ah, see, Tom disagrees:
Shame is an excellent motivator at times like this.

Is it, Tom? Is it?
Hasn’t motivated you one bit. https://t.co/JmHNFXHnvm
