30. Kamala has to be careful as Pence is a Midwestern white 'family man'

and going at him too hard, with white (and male) fragility being what it is, could turn off swing voters in those states we need to win. I'm pretty sure Kamala's team is cognizant of this, just as Obama was against Mittens. We all wanted Obama to pound him, but being a black man he couldn't appear to 'disrespect' a white man. Yeah, it's sickening but this is the America that elected Trump because those Midwestern states bought into his white resentment politics and flipped red. As long as we have the shitty Electoral College these white states control the game.

Kamala simply needs to prosecute the case against Trump - forget about Pence - just take on the Trump admin and its failures.
