In the general I'd hold down the base against Trump. I would be able to evade most of the corruption, trade, and Iraq issues associated with Clinton but could be attacked as too left-wing. I don't see Trump making a "too leftist" attack particularly convincing though, considering I could just use materials of Trump championing the same economic ideas as I do at some point in his history, and unlike Bernie I don't call myself a socialist, so they wouldn't have any material they didn't try on Obama. I would be a mainstream Democrat on social issues and wouldn't emphasize them in my campaign so it would be ineffective to paint me an SJW.
My biggest public attacks on Trump would focus more on his incompetence and flip-flopping rather than political incorrectness, to avoid offending anyone (oh, the irony of not being PC for the sake of not offending people)
However, I would run a lot of targeted ads at women, Spanish hispanic targeted ads, etc. where Trump's comments would be considered offensive. If focus groups/studies say some other strategy is more effective, I'd switch. I'll play the culture war only if it will help politically.
Ordinarily, my lack of experience and political knowledge would destroy me, especially in a debate, but with Trump in the race it'll lower the standards to the point where I wouldn't look worse in comparison.
I wouldn't be good at turning out blacks, which cost me Ohio and Florida. I rarely ever interact with black people in my life so I could see myself flubbing there. Trump's lack of appeal with wealthy suburban voters keeps VA in my column. Other than that I'd be a good fit for the 272 freiwall.
