I don't have my head buried in politics, but your idea that Trump would draw far left votes must be some weird attempt at comedy, right?

He would get some. Not a lot, but some. His immigration stance is not that much different than Bernie's.

The far left is very similar on immigration to the far right. In a recent interview, Ezra Klein was shocked (shocked!) when Bernie said he doesn't support increasing immigration. It'd be nice if Ezra already knew that the far left labor type is very xenophobic and protectionist, just like the far right nationalist type. This also goes back to how fascism and socialism aren't really that different. They have the same brainchildren and same basic philosophy. They don't contrast that well to each other like most people think. The real contrast is socialism vs capitalism or statism vs non-statism.
