I also wouldn't be entirely surprised if his Democratic opponents are pushing this as clearly, as a candidate he obviously appeals to the "traditional" white American voter. Military service, clean cut, christian etc and if, as he suggests, his policies are going to be of equal interest to BME Americans as well then they need to do something to disconnect him from those voters.
In honesty, I think that's a big issue with the Democrats. They provide loads of ammo for the Republicans themselves during the race for the nomination.
