You said "quite a few". That doesn't make you mistaken, but it probably makes your Republican friends very atypical, as 90% of Republicans voted for Trump. There were more Democrats voting for Trump than Republicans for Clinton.
Possibly yes. Yes I heard some Bernie supporters went and voted for Trump. I am just very suspicious of people being lumped into groups as i view it in the same light as negative labels. Kind of feeds lazy stereotyping.
Internal polling from the Trump campaign puts the figure at about 30% of Sander's supporters in the Primary voted for Trump. I actually think that number was much higher simply because HRC was repugnant to the population. Myself I voted for Sanders in the Primary and ended up voting for Trump in the General. But then again even during the Primary I said that if Sanders wasn't nominated I'd vote for any Republican.
To be fair, a lot of people who voted for Sanders in the primary were independents rather than Democrats.
