I'm posting this for discussion only. Not judgment. Why would the elite be afraid of Trump if he is one of them? Has Clinton lost the support of millennials who were to her what the black vote was to Obama in 2008?
This election has come down to working people vs. the elite and old people in my opinion. It occurs to me that the elite - read Kochs and Waltons - trusts the democrats to look out for their well being better than Trump. Did Hillary abandon the base handed to her by Sanders? It is more than the Koch Brothers being good citizens. They could care less about the country. They care only about profits.
To Elite: 'I'm the only thing standing between you and the abyss." Transcript MTP

Let's bring back the panel, New York Times, I think it was Saturday, Maureen had a lead that said, basically interviewing all these upper west siders panicking now. And in fact I think referred to it as 'The polls are showing a "margin of panic" for Clinton supporters.' Describe this east coast freakout that I feel like you've seen among the elites this week.
MAUREEN DOWD:
Right. Well my friends, one of my friends, Leon Wieseltier, calls it a national emergency. And my friends won't even read, if I do interviews with Donald Trump, they won't read them. And basically they would like to censor any stories about Trump and also censor any negative stories about Hillary. They think she should have a total free pass. Because as she said at that fundraiser recently, 'I'm the only thing standing between you and the abyss.' Oh, and they're taking-- Democratic strategists are taking antacids. In the Times today.
