Democrats on Capitol Hill are starting to get worried about Donald Trump.

Once convinced that a Trump nomination would be a godsend for their party, some are now warning that a general election fight against the billionaire tycoon will be anything but a cakewalk.

Trump's unorthodox message and populist appeal, the Democrats warn, could erode their hold on working-class support and jeopardize their chances in a year when voter disenchantment with Washington is being felt nationwide.

Don’t worry dems, unless Trump locks up the delegates, he’s going to get screwed at the convention.

Donald Trump is for returning AMERICAN JOBS.

Lots, and lots, and lots of Democrats and Republicans are sick of the “leadership” of this country selling out our own nation.

Every single person is for sale.

Except of course Donald Trump. That is why I am strongly supporting his candidacy, and have since the beginning.

He is for Americans jobs, and for America.

That is a strong, strong position.

“Democrats on Capitol Hill are starting to get worried about Donald Trump.”

And this is why everyone should vote Trump.

Dems are NOT worried about Rubio.

Dems are NOT worried about Cruz.

Dems really love Kasich.

Working class support my big blue eyes.

A bunch of Union thugs who force their fellow citizens to pay for their exorbitant salaries and extravagant retirements.

Pay for your own damn retirements!

could erode their hold on working-class support

A working class person voting for a present-day democrat is like a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.
