She can pick pro-Wall Street, anti-abortion Tim Kaine and many will still vote for her simply out of fear. She can keep sticking her middle finger up at her adversaries in the Democratic Party knowing many of them will vote for her given the winner take all system. She needs to realize that millions people don't want 'suck it up' so Hilary seems to be trying her best to lose the election by alienating large portions of the Democratic vote.
Either that or she just sewed up swing state Virginia where Kaine is pretty popular. Virginia has 13 electoral votes. Add that to the 240 electoral votes of the 'Blue Wall' states, and she's walking in with 253 electoral votes. She needs 17 more to win, which means she only has to get two more swing states to take the election.
Winning a national election doesn't come from pandering to your base. You do that in the primaries.
