Which candidate will unify us the most, and which will unify us the least?

...That is what is most important to me. After the primaries are over, we must come together and work together to beat Trump. Trump will have enormous amounts of money far beyond what we think he will have, so we must be united to beat him. After our convention, we must work as hard as we can as a team to win. I am posing the question, and want to listen to others. I really thought I knew, but I realize now, especially in the last 2 or 3 days, that I did not know.

....Thank You for reading this and any responses. I will listen to you.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

1. Least hands down, Sanders. He has burnt his Democratic base bridges. Warren most to unite.

5. Biden cannot appease a block of voters. He just can't but I will still be good with Biden

He will get most and he will get those Independents that do not like Trump. He will get the vote out, I believe.

I think you'll get six or a dozen different answers here. People tend to look at their own preferred candidate through rose-colored glasses, failing to acknowledge their flaws in addition to their assets, and refusing to imagine that others may feel differently.

Once you fall in love with a candidate, it's hard to see them as anything but the best for everything. And you believe that if others just looked hard enough, they'd agree. But they'll break your heart. That's why, 3 or so presidential cycles back, I vowed never to fall in love with a candidate again. You can like, and even put your trust in them, all the while realizing that they are neither gods or goddesses, nor all powerful, and all far from perfect. If you can accept the deficits of your candidate and go ahead with a realistic view, you'll be less likely to need a divorce later.

Obama is planning to assist the nominee. Joe and Barack will unit the party and possibly the country.
