The unfortunate key word for the Dems is "old". Bad contrast after the young Barrack Obama energized them for the last 8 years.
But at the same time, Trump could cause the entire Republican party to fall apart. If Trump doesn't get the nomination, he will take with him a significant percentage of people with him that would ensure the Republican party does not win back the White House. At the same time, if Trump gets the nomination a large percent of independents might not vote for him because he is too far out there.

I have to admit right now the Republican party is on fire (and I don't mean this in a good way - more like they are constantly in the news). The only thing you read about in the press about the Democrats is this email thing.
