I'd never be so naive as to believe that any leader could unite 100% of Americans. It's sufficient to unite a solid majority, and "solid" is the operative word. The far Right worked through the GOP to add soft support from the moderate Right to attain a hair-thin majority, and that was a shaky platform on which to ram through a radical agenda. It eventually fell apart.

I think Obama can put together a solid majority, and doesn't need the far Right for that. As you say, the Right's ideology is purposely designed to vaccinate them against compromise...and so any time there's a prospect of a little national unity, they choose to sit on the sidelines and bitch and moan. The far Right has a very real stake in division and disunity.

Your post seems a little conflicted, Y. Y...er, why not vote for Hillary if you think she'd make a better President?
