Democrats who can unite the Country

[NeederNodder]

Which Democrats in 2020 will be able to unite the country?

[Sumner 1868]

Someone we've never heard of.

[mileslunn]

None, the US is so polarized that it's impossible for anyone to unite the country.  Basically the two sides are so far apart that no matter who becomes president a large chunk of the country will hate them.

There's no Democrat who can unite the party let alone the country.

The only reason we are so heavily favored is because Trump is a corrupt, traitorous buffoon. If Pence suddenly became President, we likely lose, something which likely will enter the calculations of a Speaker Pelosi.

Either we nominate a Booker, Cuomo, Gillibrand, Biden, Bullock and tick off Bernie Bros, or we nominate Warren, Sanders or Gabbard and tick off pro-Clinton voters.

[NeederNodder]

Bullock or Cooper or another popular democrat who can appeal to both sides of the spectrum

Cooper is a Southern Dem who just announced that hell remove Confederate monuments. Not well knowledged on Bullock though.

[Lord Admirale]

Who can:
Cory Booker
Steve Bullock
John Bel Edwards
Kamala Harris
John Hickenlooper
Amy Klobuchar

Who can't:
Stephen Colbert
Mark Cuban
Eric Holder
Bernie Sanders
Adam Schiff
Elizabeth Warren

[Lechasseur]

I think the only one who could would be John Bel Edwards, but he'd never win the Democratic primary anyway.
Out of realistic potential Democratic nominees, the least divisive I think would be Joe Biden by far.

[Kingpoleon]

Ron Wyden, James Stavridis, or Gavin Newsom seem the most likely.

[Senator-elect Spark]

Delaney LOL

[Lord Admirale]

Delaney LOL

Delaney has the potential to win 538 electoral votes and nearly 90% of the popular vote.

Nobody can ever unite the country. They can only cobble together a decently sized chunk of it for a certain period of time.

I think a true independent could unite the country. Maybe if James Mattis ran for President he could unite it, but I think he has no interest in being president.

Just crown that man king already and bow to his majesty.

I don't think it is possible.  A good 1/3 of Americans are solid right wing and anybody who isn't unabashedly right wing they will hate, but if you choose someone unabashedly right wing you alienate over half the country.  Likewise there is a growing chunk of progressives who want the president to be a true progressive not centrist, but the US is still a centre-right country so if one tries to copy progressive parties in Canada and Europe you will lose support from the majority.

Possibly a unity ticket of Joe Biden and Susan Collins.

I think that the Democrat would have to be someone less polarizing, and would have to accept a Republican as VP as a Unity Ticket.

Cory Booker
Steve Bullock
John Bel Edwards
Kamala Harris
John Hickenlooper
Amy Klobuchar

Stephen Colbert

This, maybe a few other names....

[Possiblymaybe]

Sherrod brown or al Franken probably with someone like Harris as VP.

[foxh8er]

A general with Bernie-like views is the best bet at this point.

If McRaven ran with a Warren-esque platform...

[publicunofficial]

Settle for uniting the left and center.

[McGovernForPrez]

I don't get how people see Booker of all people uniting the country. If Obama couldn't do it, what makes you think Booker can? Both are left of center black men, but Obama is by far the better speaker and has stronger working class and geographical appeal. Booker would be an awful choice for unifying this country.

[Mister Mets]

The country's so divided that divisions have divisions (Hillary VS Bernie, Trump VS the Republican establishment VS "true" conservatives) so this would be a tall order.

Steve Bullock seems the best positioned, since he's been outside of national politics, and has governed a state where he can't be a culture warrior, so his participation is limited in contentious national debates. Though many on the left won't be happy with another white guy in the White House.
