It's starting. The grim reality that this election will come down to Hillary Clinton 
and Donald Trump has set in. The Bernie kids are going back to their parent's
 basements, and the Washington establishment is probably headed to the bar,
 wondering where they went wrong.

So here we are; Trump vs. Hillary. So far, polls suggest that the former First
 Lady has the significant edge, with Trump significantly underwater with 
women and minorities. Some are predicting a landslide.

But one high level Democratic strategist thinks they're wrong. Here's why:
Democratic strategist Dave “Mudcat” Saunders believes Donald Trump will

beat Hillary Clinton like a “baby seal,” and that working class whites who

haven’t already left the Democratic Party for cultural reasons will due so

now for economic ones.

“I know a ton of Democrats — male, female, black and white — here

[in southern Virginia] who are going to vote for Trump. It’s all because

of economic reasons. It’s because of his populist message,” Mudcat told

The Daily Caller Wednesday.

Saunders has experience working with Jim Webb, helping getting him

elected to the U.S Senate in 2006 and advised his failed bid for the

presidency in 2016. Saunders was also an advisor to John Edwards

in his 2008 presidential bid. The Democrat strategist is renowned for

connecting politicians to “Bubbas” — white, working class Southerners.

“Working class whites in the South have already departed the Democratic

Party for cultural reasons. Well the working class whites in the North are

now deserting the Democrats because of economic reasons,” Mudcat

told TheDC. He added, “this is the new age of economic populism, man.

This is about survival for a lot of people.”
Saunders is likely right. Add to the equation the fact that many of the
 young voters who propelled Barack Obama to victory are incredibly
 unenthusiastic about Hillary Clinton, who they view as a moderate 
and a sell out. When you pair that with Hillary's total inability to make
 a human connection with a single solitary voter, and Trump's showmanship, 
it's easy to see the New York billionaire pulling a complete 180 in the polls 
and putting Clinton away.

In this election, anything can happen.
