Reuters: Trump supporters most racist, Sanders supporters least [View all]
Belatedly, what Sanders’ supporters say about race
Chris Kahn

The poll, which ran over three months and included interviews with more than 16,000 people, found that Donald Trump supporters were more likely to describe blacks negatively, relative to whites, when compared with people who backed fellow Republicans Ted Cruz and John Kasich or Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

The press likes to run stories about Sanders supports supposedly backing Trump (even, sadly, the Daily Show, which used to be all about calling out the media), but this shows why that's nonsense.
Sanders and Trump may have some policy positions that appear similar, but there's a vast ideological divide between progressives and nativists. Sanders supporters may vote Green or stay home, but they're not going to vote for Trump, even if it makes for good clickbait.
