1. While I see obvious similarities between Trump and Sanders, there are many big differences—clearly too difficult for the media mind to comprehend.
Donald Trump faced and defeated a deep bench of pols with both political talent with governing experience.
Not Bernie Sanders.

2. The second big difference between Trump and Sanders is where each falls on the spectrum.
Big media never understood. Trump's positions were firmly in the American Middle, and largely aligned w/ Republican orthodoxy.
Some would argue the true orthodoxy.
Not Bernie Sanders.

3. There's an important distinction between the legitimate grievances Trump and Sanders speak to, and their proposals to address them.
While Middle America agrees with both of them on the grievances themselves, they don't agree with both on how to address them.

4. On orthodoxy, I think it's fair for both sides to argue Bernie Sanders represents the true Democratic Party, just as Donald Trump's positions represented the true Republican Party.
Difference is that one lost its way, the other was trying to cover for it for decades.

5. These are only a few of the differences between the Trump and Sanders Campaigns. But they are among the most important, not the least of which is where each stand on the political spectrum.
Donald Trump had the agreement of most of America. Bernie Sanders does not.
