I agree, she is kind of like the Democrat version of Ted Cruz, i.e., the shrewd politician who unites just the right segments of the party’s base in just the right areas to secure a path to nomination. But do you think she can win the general? FWIW, I think Cruz would have lost to Hillary because his coalition didn’t bring any new voters to the fold. Cruz alienated people who otherwise were fed up with Democrats, whereas Trump brought these people in. And like Cruz, Harris is not exactly likable for people who aren’t predisposed to liking her. A lot of people just see her and think “boy this bitch looks angry.”
To win, I think Dems need to run someone who puts a wedge in Trump’s coalition. IMO, the only person who can do that is Bernie.
