A Democratic strategist says Donald Trump will beat Hillary Clinton “like a baby seal” during the general election.

Dave “Mudcat” Saunders told The Daily Caller that working class Americans will leave the Democratic party in droves to vote for Trump – the ones who haven’t already left.

“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,” he said.

Saunders was an advisor for Jim Webb’s Senate campaign and John Edwards 2008 presidential bid. He is well known in Democratic circles for connecting liberal politicians with 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,” he said. “This is the new age of economic populism, man. This is about survival for a lot of people.”

One demographic that Hillary fails to tap is white men – something Trump can capitalize on, Saunders said. “I know less than half a dozen white male Democrats in my part of the world who are going to vote for Hillary.”

Trump will also get a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters – men who feel they’ve been “left behind” economically. “Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have very similar messages, they’re just dressed in different clothes. I think you’re going to see a lot of Sanders people jump to Trump,” he said.

Once Trump wins the nomination and can focus on the general election, all bets are off. Trump will go after Hillary with all guns blazing, Saunders said.

“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,” he said. He added, “Trump’s going to take a wire-brush to her.”

Both Trump and Clinton have unfavorable ratings in polls, both at near 60 percent. Mudcat said, “I think [Trump] can drive her negs to 80.”

He thinks Trump will win the general election and said, “he’s going to knock her around like a baby seal.”

“
Mudcat says that Trump will bring up quid pro quo with the Clinton foundation and foreign nations, something that has not been brought up so far this election by Sanders. One theme that Trump will share with the Vermont senator is knocking Hillary on NAFTA and her support for China’s “favored nation status” in trade.

“I think she’s going to have to say NAFTA was a mistake, favored nation status for China was a mistake,” Mudcat told TheDC. The Democratic strategist added, “unless she just says these are all screw-ups, which I question that she will do, there’s no way she’s going to get working class people.”
