"I went over the facts in my head, and admired how much uglier the situation had just become. Over the years I've learned that ignorance is more than just bliss. It's freaking orgasmic ecstasy".- Harry Dresden, Blood Rites

Huh. Game on. If the Ancient Dems wanted to bury immigration to try to suck up to the Dumpies in the rust belt that aint gonna fly now. With this guy on the stage they won't be able to ignore it, and if they make statements they will have to strongly support Latinos.
This is very good news because it cuts off at the pass attempts to peddle some sort of half-as-sed Third Way nonsense. It doesn't mean we'll get a full-on disucssion of economic justice -- for that we need Liz -- but it does mean we'll have genuinely liberal themes being discussed and not another rerun of Now's That's What I Call the 90s!
Oh, and this also wins every general election from 2030 on, because the GOP reaction is going to be something out of Richard Spencer's wet dreams.
She'd get even more votes, with all the Bernie voters coming back. She might even get a handful of people who have gone all the way over from Dump. But the big difference is Dump has lost a ton of "lesser of two evils" support. His base would still vote for him. But those people who voted against Hillary because they hated Dump at 7 but they hated Hillary at 11? A lot of them now hate Dump at 73.
Dump won in 2016 because Hillary was so distrusted by the people who weren't her direct supporters.
