There’s a facile assumption abroad in the land that the two “outsider” presidential candidates in their respective parties, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, are different sides of the same coin, propelled by similar sentiments and overlapping voters.
It’s a convenient story, with some surface plausibility, but it’s not really true.
Here and there one can cherry-pick some demographic parallels, but the differences far outweigh any similarities in importance. CONT.
