it would concern me greatly that he consistently hovers in the mid to low teens in polls that match him against other Democrats. It's becoming clear that those numbers represent his base, and he isn't breaking out of that bracket even though he's been on media constantly for the last month and should be getting a bump from his status as a shiny new presence.

He doesn't seem to get that he needs women, LGBT's and people of color far, far more than we need him.
