I think it's hard for any politician to be a "uniter". The fact of the matter is that people in the U.S. have wildly different opinions and different values, and you can't please all of the people all of the time. I think it'd be nice if politicians were more respectful of the opposition and tried to work together to find common ground, but there seems to be such an entrenched "zero-sum" us vs. them mentality in politics that I don't know if that's even possible.
