The winning candidate will be the one that...

...that can best bring the nation together. The country is tired of the division.

I truly believe this.

But the problem is that no one seems capable of talking to the whole nation?

An eye for an eye and soon the whole nation is walking around blind.

It is a much greater challenge when one person makes it part of his strategy to divide.

It is divide and conquer.

Is there anyone that can unite the country?

1. If there were 5 or even 10 defectors from GOP party line, MAYBE...

There is NO FATIGUE (that costs anyone a thing) in our politics...

The GOP loves POWER.
Trump loves POWER

Therein ends the similarities...yet, the entire GOP remains in lockstep with a criminal coward creature.
There is no fatigue and no fear or reprisals.

2020 election fix is already in....how do I know? ZERO VOTES TO CONVICT FROM GOP. ZERO.

I am still reeling at how passively this has all gone down...no protests, no riots, no strikes...it shows how effectively we have been a fascist state for a while and only getting worse...

The only way we would have a winning candidate would be count EVERY vote OUT LOUD and record them ON PAPER for recounts or auditing. Touchscreen in your polling place? You are not voting, you're playing a pre-determined video game...

2. The GOP running for re-election must have been assured of a fix

...and therefore nothing to fear about having their complicity nailed to them.
Our DOJ will now function as a revisionist department. We will be told nothing is as it appears or as we think until we give up and go along with their pronouncements.

3. There is no coming together for the 30%

who will love Twitler as long as they live. They are full of hate and have no desire to compromise. They are convinced to do so is to invite their demise. They are wrong. Their demise has already come and gone. Young people are overwhelmingly liberal. They are pro LGBTQ, union, women’s rights, environmentalist. They will be here long after the 30% has turned to dust.

4. 40% of the country loves the division

as long as it means their team is "winning". There's no "coming together" with people who think Jews and Mexicans are coming to steal their jobs, climate change is a Chinese hoax and the communists are trying to take over and force everyone to accept free health care.

The only way to shut them up is to expose their "strong-man" leader for the cowardly, stupid, pathetic con artist he is, knock Trump on his ass over and over again until not even the most deluded Republican can muster the slightest bit of respect for him.

Then wait for them to die off.

5. This. There is no 'coming together' with people who believe as fascists do, whether

the fascism is Christofascism or the regular old WW2 fascism.

As long as the fascism stays in random pockets of the population, it can be contained and won't spread to a large minority or a majority, but the existence of TV and now the Internet makes this stuff spread like wildfire. Propaganda is powerful and can spread any ideology, especially dangerous ones, just by appealing to baser emotions.

6. I just want a candidate who can beat Trump.
