Donald Trump's new target: Bernie Sanders supporters
Trump said on MSNBC: "Bernie Sanders has a message that's interesting. I'm going to be taking a lot of the things Bernie said and using them."
Trump's advisers say these comments are a preview of more explicit overtures the campaign is ready to make to Sanders' supporters once the populist liberal exits the 2016 race.
That strategy is based on the broad areas of overlap between voters attracted to Trump and those who have flocked to Sanders.
Both have angrily denounced the political system as corrupt and expressed deep frustration that Washington is not helping ordinary people.
They both oppose international trade deals, saying they hurt American jobs.
And, of course, targeting Sanders supporters could serve to undermine Clinton.
