Beto O'Rourke's voting record is more conservative than the average Democrat's

64. Unfortunately Harris is not Obama

And it's wrong to compare the two's election prospects. Obama ran as a uniter who could appeal to the WWC, and did so. That is not how Harris is running in the primary and a shift in the general would be dubious. Millions who voted for Obama later voted for tRump - the data all shows that.

The turnout the base mantra is popular with Harris supporters but there is nothing in the numbers to suggest that would be enough to win back the upper midwest. What won in 2018 for the Dems was white college educated women. Harris has appeal with segments of the Democratic party; that does not necessarily translate to the general election. The broad appeal you claim is wishful thinking for the general at this point. A Democrat needs to not just win but win by enough to counteract the same dirty tricks the repubs used in 2016. I don't see Harris having that ability, or putting those states you mentioned in play; maybe NC but definitely not AZ. I live here, know its politics and can tell you that a Californian with the most liberal voting record in the senate will NOT win this state. She could even cost Kelly the senate seat held by McSally
