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.

Who can:
Cory Booker

Yes, because if there's one potential candidate who could unite the country as President, it's a cheap Obama impersonator who is hated by a significant portion of his own party for being a shill for Big Pharma. Peak Atlas #Analysis right here.

Source on that, Cenk? Then I'll respond.

Cenk? What are you even talking about my dude?

Or not, just wanted a source for your claims on Cory Booker "being a shill for Big Pharma."

I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else that he is or isn't, I'm merely pointing out that there are many leftists who seem him as such. I'd be more interested in hearing your explanation as to how he'd "unite the country".

"Leftists" don't make up a majority of the Democratic Party as indicated by Sanders' performance in the primaries, while racial minorities do. Booker's appeal to minorities, combined with appeal to center to center-left (and even pure liberals) voters, will help him carry the south, the midwest, the northeast (minus Massachusetts, Vermont, and maybe New Hampshire + Maine), and secure the nomination. From there, as Booker is a moderate Democrat, he could run a dynamic campaign on working with both Democrats and Republicans and using Trump's low approvals to help boost support with moderate Republicans. The only groups that are alienated are the far-right and maybe the far-left, but those groups can never be pleased unless someone "ideologically pure" from their belief set is elected. Now granted, this is easier said than done in a much more polarized and partisan America, but Booker has the potential to pull it off. Conversely, he has much greater potential to unite the country compare to someone like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren could (or for the right, Jeff Sessions or Mike Pence).

Someone like Sherrod Brown or Tammy Baldwin. Midwestern progressives with establishment connections. Cory Booker has no chance with the activist base (Despite the borderline Republican beliefs of Blue Dog Moderate, who seems fine with Democrats being right-wingers). Same goes for people like Manchin (who's nomination WILL trigger a left-wing third party challenge).

But even then, it'd be an uphill battle for them. There are always going to be unsatisfied people.

"Borderline Republican" lmao that actually made me laugh. I didn't know I pissed you off that much that you have to follow me around and take a piss on Cory Booker and Joe Manchin. Sorry for not blindly subscribing to Sanders' """revolution"""" that appeals to a very small, but loud, political minority in the Democratic Party.

[Lord Admirale]

Oh, and by the way, this whole rise in ideological purity perpetrated by people like that Australian guy is what cost the GOP their strongholds on New Jersey, Connecticut, and other moderate suburban areas back during Gingrich's """revolution""" with his ideological purity.

Sanders also brought an interesting coalition of the Democratic doves, activists, progressives, democratic socialists, blue dogs, libertarians(particularly on the Federal Reserve, guns, and privacy/spying), and nationalists, most of which are usually at opposite ends from each other.

I don't know that many blue dogs who like Bernie.

Bernie is to Blue Dogs as Gingrich is to Rockefeller Republicans.
