The long-shot candidate warned that Democrats may underestimate Trump's call at the heart of the nation, where many voters are frustrated by Washington's policy.

"We can not go too far left, otherwise we will lose Central America," Moulton told Reuters during an interview during a California country tour.

Moulton, a self-styled moderate, told the press that Warren and Sanders' message would make it difficult to win Congress and "the White House's takeover" in the next election cycle.

Moulton said he agreed with the two senators' idea that wealthy Americans should pay higher taxes, but denounced Sanders and Warren for endorsing policies that he said , aimed at "punishing the rich".

Sanders and Warren have both placed economic issues at the center of their campaigns, opposing the gains made by Wall Street and the highest paid Americans as proof that the economy is clashing with the working class.

Moulton called these speeches, as well as related policies, including Warren's plan to tax the 75,000 wealthiest families in America to pay for social programs, to "divide."

Moulton focused much of his fire on Sanders, hitting the Vermont senator who emerged as one of the first in the lead pack.

"Bernie wants to turn us into a socialist country and we are not a socialist country," he said.

"That's not what we're talking about in America. I do not think that a socialist candidate will win the presidency. I am a democrat, I am not a socialist … He is a socialist, not a democrat. "

Sanders' campaign told Reuters that the senator published strong polling and fundraising statistics because he is a "champion of the workers".

"Senator Sanders has a long and famous record at the helm of efforts to create a government that works for all Americans," Sanders spokeswoman Sarah Ford told Reuters.

Warren's campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Hill or Reuters.

Moulton's comments come as the Democratic Party wonders if he should cast his support for a moderate candidate who can win disaffected Republicans and independents or a progressive who can excite the grassroots.
