The angle will be to tag her as a spineless Clinton-lite with policy positions so light they flutter in the breeze. The narrative that she's a corrupt prosecutor who has clearly ruined lives is gravy.
I think it's got a shot.
Every prosecutor in America ruins lives unjustly.
Again, good luck with the narrative. I'm deeply skeptical. Although the reality is that most political narratives are superficial, silly, and dishonest. Obviously you have to appeal to dumb people in order to win.

In the past few weeks/months I've heard pundits repeatedly say that the undecided moderates are a myth and that the nation is so polarized and everyone already knows who they are going to vote for, that the only winning strategy is to appeal to your base and energize your voters so that you can turn out a larger vote. They were saying Biden needed to lean into a progressive stance and rally the BLM movement
That's what Ezra Klein argues in his new book. Part of that equation though is how a candidate energizes the base... and a target like Warren helps Trump(IMO) more than Harris does. People underestimate how scared some Americans are of far-left policy. Plus, it's hard to see how the corrupt cop and antifa BLM radical goes together.
