That's normal. If the left or Democrats wanted the support of the working class they would have nominated a different candidate than Wall Street Clinton. But they took the working class for granted. You can only do take certain segments of voter for granted for so long before they bite back.
Most of this is nothing more than rhetoric. They talk a good game and then do nothing except take care of all those mega money donors be it corporations, wall street, lobbyist, special interest and the like. Both parties are guilty of this. Its like young voters this time around, not that they are supporting Trump, but they don't like Clinton or her ties to Wall Street. Quite a lot of them are going third party or planning on staying home rather than vote for either candidate. So we'll see what happens, Clinton's support comes from mostly old voters, at least they are the most avid backers of her. Not the young or as you pointed out, the working class. Clinton has the union leaders in her hip pocket, but not necessarily union members. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out.
I know normal GOP pols said they supported working class folks, but I don't think anyone really believed them.
It just seems like a huge betrayal of them to **** all over the very people they said they loved so much.
This is an election of true colors, if there ever has been.
