Democrats start to worry about Trump’s appeal

Marketwatch reports:
Capitol Hill Democrats are beginning to get worried about Donald Trump.

Congressional Democrats, writes the Hill, were once convinced that a nomination for outsider Trump would be a godsend for their party. But some are now warning that a general election fight against the real-estate mogul won’t be a cakewalk. Trump’s unorthodox message and populist appeal, Democrats say, could erode their hold on working-class support and jeopardize their chances in a year when voter disenfranchisement with Washington is felt nationwide. “It’s not only taking him seriously,” said Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona. “It’s taking him as a threat.”
Imagine that.
