Yeah, when someone actually does some research on the providence of the author, that's an ad hominem. Get real. Know where your information is coming from and the track record of those you're using. Reason is a hack organization who has been pumping out disinformation on a number of topics for years. That's what happens when you're Koch sock puppet. Reason is a terrible source of information on anything because they have a history of fudging the numbers.
Your own article even say this.
"Even if we assume that the overall percentage of Sanders supporters who voted for Trump was 6 percent and not 12 percent, and assume therefore that we can cut every state estimate in half, the estimated number of Sanders-Trump voters would still exceed Trump’s margin of victory."
It also concludes with this.
"In short, it may be hard to know exactly how many Sanders-Trump voters there were, or whether they really cost Clinton the election. But it doesn’t appear that many of them were predisposed to support Clinton in the first place."
So they weren't voting for Clinton, but they did vote, so where do you think those votes went? Own it Bernie Bros. Your guy didn't get the nomination so you voted against the nominee to show the DNC. Just own it already.
