Trump Wants Bernie Sanders Supporters to Feel the Donald (Video)

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican choice and always the opportunist, wants Sanders supporters to jump onto his team.
“The insiders wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power and in the money. That’s why we’re asking Bernie Sanders supporters to join our movement so together we can fix the system for all Americans,” said Trump during an anti-Hillary Clinton speech in New York City.
Will Sanders supporters feel the Donald? According to Bloomberg, nearly half of Sanders supporters won’t support Hillary Clinton, and 22 percent say they will vote for Trump.
