12% of Sanders supporters ultimately voted for Trump, enough to swing the election.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont inspired millions of loyal supporters, some of whom chose not to support Hillary Clinton in the general election in 2016.
Fully 12 percent of people who voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries voted for President Trump in the general election. That is according to the data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study — a massive election survey of around 50,000 people. (For perspective, a run-of-the-mill survey measuring Trump's job approval right now has a sample of 800 to 1,500.)
Political science professor Brian Schaffner of University of Massachusetts, Amherst tweeted the data on Wednesday.

I find it hard to believe any Bernie supporters would have voted for Clinton after she stole the nomination from him, but I guess they have a party loyalty that was stronger. Some liberals would never vote outside the party for the stupidest reasons that are based on untrue "facts". Rather "cult like" actually.
