A middle of the road Democrat may do well if Trump is indeed the candidate. If things change possibly because the GOP gets nervous and the election nears and polls show any one of the 20 Democratic candidates beating him, a moderate Democrat may be fighting with a moderate republican.

A simple, straight forward, no bull shit campaign to address these people's issues will propel the Democrats to victory no matter the Republican candidate or message.
