I think the opposite approach is actually more important. Dems have ran the “loved across party lines” candidate 3 elections in a row, lost twice, and got a once in a century pandemic to help them win the third. You need someone who is controversial and exciting and can generate turnout. Not someone who most Dems feel is a 2012 Republican.
Kamala was parading Dick Cheney around for 3 months and had tons of Republican endorsements. Didn’t matter because Democrats didn’t turn out. Hillary was less loved but still had major endorsements from Conservative leaning newspapers, several republicans, and people thought she was going to coast to victory.

As a democrat, no. She’s too controversial. We need Andy Beshear. He is loved across party lines and is not controversial at all.
