I don’t really get this logic, because the people that voted for Trump voted for the alcoholic instead of the one enabling their behavior. What makes a voter say “This person is in bed with Trump-like figures, so we better vote for Trump instead.” The whole push for “Washington outsiders who will run the government like a business” is completely opposed to “Washington insiders enable big business,” and the only thread tying Trump and Bernie together is a sense of nationalism when it comes to employment - and Bernie is the exact kind of Washington insider being complained about, he’s been in the senate for a very long time. What you argue makes sense for why people didn’t vote or voted third party, but there was not some dramatic shift in voter turnout in places like Michigan to make that argument hold water for the actual election.
WI and PA have major issues with voter suppression, so that muddies the water as well as more people staying home compared to 2012. Even so you are talking extremely close races, not something like 2008.
