And for exactly the reason the Young Turks hosts give:

This is an anti-establishment political climate. Trump would be able to say, "Look at Hillary. She's bought. But NO ONE has bought me because I don't need their money."

Add to that the simple truth that low-info voters will always prefer someone they perceive as a straight-shooter who talks his mind over a triangulating, hedging politician, and I think it's clear: Hillary would lose, and lose badly, to Trump.
