Our political atmosphere has become  so poisoned in so many places that it's difficult to sort this all out.  One thing is clear, neither Sanders nor Trump has demonstrated civilized leadership on this front - which speaks well of neither one.  Unfortunately those who care about such things are now left with an almost equally uninspiring Hillary who, try as she may, seems unequal to the task of bridging the growing ideological chasms that  plague our country.  This is not a good year for hope, I fear.
