I wonder how many of the fervent are ever confronted with the brunt of racist hatred from Trump's supporters. He has attracted white supremacists of all stripes. What more needs to be said? That type of racism could give a flying fig about economic issues. If Sanders expects to lie down with that sort of dog, he should expect to get rabies.
Opening a back door to further mainstream hatred is not the answer. Our family lived through several years of outright hell brcause my husband was given employment that his coworkers thought was not suitable for "the black boy." He has been arrested twice and held once on a made up charge and once without charge for anything. That sort of racist is a-okay with firebombing places of worship or physically assaulting people just because they look different and might be terrorists. Or deport anyone who is deemed unworthy.
I think that Sanders is playing a cynical game.
