Over 80% of the 12% of Bernie voters that went to Trump were conservatives or centrists, not leftists. The leftists voted for Hillary, Bernie was just more likeable across the board.

    What's even more hypocritical is that they will turn right around and say that we need centrist candidates to get right wing voters. If that were actually true, wouldn't that mean that even more Hillary supporters wouldn't have voted for Bernie if he won the nomination? They want to have it both ways.

    Bernie was the better candidate for the general. The 2016 election was bungled in the primary, not the general, and the argument they are making tacitly admits it.
