Insiders worry the mogul will damage the eventual nominee and hurt a party struggling to connect with women and minorities.
All jokes aside, the Republican Party is officially afraid of Donald Trump.
He has virtually zero chance of winning the presidential nomination. But insiders worry that the loud-mouthed mogul is more than just a minor comedic nuisance on cable news; they fret that hes a loose cannon whose rants about Mexicans and scorched-earth attacks on his rivals will damage the eventual nominee and hurt a party struggling to connect with women and minorities and desperate to win.
Donald Trump is like watching a roadside accident, said former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer. Everybody pulls over to see the mess. And Trump thinks thats entertainment. But running for president is serious. And the risk for the party is he tarnishes everybody.

That's what I'm seeing. The American Idle voters just want someone who excites them and engaging in a petty useless fight with Univision does the trick. They don't care that he supports Obamacare, they don't care about his support of gay marriage, they don't care about his desire for gun control, they don't care about his crony capitalism. They just want someone loud.
