More Hillary supporters voted for John frickin McCain than Bernie supporters voted for Trump, and were expected to ignore that constantly. edit: before anyone talks about me bringing up Hillary, she is irrelevant, its the focus on Bernie supporters that is my point here.
And they were wrong too! The PUMA movement wasn't looked on favorably in 2008 either, at least not in the circles I read from!

And, fair or not, the critical difference between the situations is the margin of victory. 2008 Obama won in a blowout, PUMA defectors didn't appreciably change anything.

Sanders -> Trump voters, while only 12% of his primary support from 2016, was well over Trump's margin of victory in each of WI, MI, and PA. More than double in all of them, up to nearly five times as high in MI. If you flip those three states... well I shouldn't need to tell you why such a situation is such a sore spot compared to 2008.
