My point is, I guess, Trump's strategy is to get out his base. The first priority of Democrats has to be getting out the base. The conventional strategy of toning it down, moving to the center in the GE, is not relevant this time - the strategy in the primaries & the GE is basically the same - Get Democrats out to vote. (EDIT: If I was arguing Joe Biden's case, I would say, it is the depth of his support with African Americans, Moderates and Unions that is more important than his wider appeal. Playing down unions in the GE this time would be a mistake IMO).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
