The Hill:
An ally to the Donald Trump campaign predicted that the presumptive GOP presidential nominee would have major success with a large chunk of Bernie Sanders’s supporters in a general election.
In a radio interview with John Catsimatidis on Sunday, Republican consultant Roger Stone said Sanders has created a lot of excitement among the electorate and that similarities between the Vermont senator and Trump will lead some Democrats to support the GOP candidate.
“Look, I think Bernie Sanders has to get some of the credit for this,” Stone said. “In essence, he’s the outsider in the Democratic Party. In some ways, he and Trump have a great deal in common, particularly their rejection of these enormous globalist trade deals like [the North American Free Trade Agreement] and [the Trans-Pacific Partnership] and [the Trade Promotion Authority] that either have, or will, destroy the U.S. job market.
Of course, he will get support from Bernie supporters. They are natural allies.
