One thing about a Trump candidacy is that it's going to be an election of personality rather than issues, so I don't think a shift accomplishes anything that attacking Trump on character does. I'm not sure if there's an olive-branch she could extend to moderate Republicans that wouldn't hurt her base, so it's probably just more efficient to make those voters stay home.

That said, maybe she lifts a couple fiscal responsibility measures from Bernie's campaign that appeal to both the Warren wingers and moderate Republicans.
