A Democratic strategist and former presidential campaign advisor is predicting that Republican Donald Trump would beat Democrat Hillary Clinton by a landslide in the general election with the help of working class whites leaving the Democratic Party in droves.
Dave “Mudcat” Saunders, who served as senior advisor to John Edwards’ 2008 presidential campaign, made the prediction during a recent interview with The Daily Caller.
“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,” Sunders told the website.
According to the strategist, working class whites in the north who’ve held on to the Democratic Party because of strong union values are poised to join white southern Democrats who left the party long ago for social reasons.
“It’s compelling for working class people who have always followed their union to hear a guy who’s pro gun and pro economic fairness,” Saunders told The Daily Caller.
Saunders added that beyond her voter weaknesses, Clinton has yet to face serious political attacks.
“Hillary hasn’t been shot at yet. I hear on TV people taking about Bernie Sanders being negative, he ain’t attack her, he just tapped on her,” the strategist said, adding, “Trump’s going to take a wire-brush to her.”
Saunders said he believes Trump should comfortably be able to cause Clinton’s unfavorability rating to rocket to 80 percent. That’s because, unlike Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders, Trump isn’t likely to hold back in attacking Clinton over her mountain of scandals.
In addition to scoring Democratic defectors, Trump remains an outsized favorite among Republicans. In fact, the billionaire businessman has already surpassed Mitt Romney’s 2012 popular vote totals and is on track to trump the 10.8 million vote record George W. Bush set in 2008.
