Agree with everyone who says that the country can not be united in its present state by any figure from any party. As to which Democrat can appeal to the electorate, there are perhaps a few out there (Brown, maybe Hickenlooper), but they have not been "out in front" of the political scene, they don't have serious name recognition. Apart from Sanders, who I don't think can win a general election, the Dems effectively have an empty bench at the moment. Obama could only manage to use whatever political capital he gained for himself, and the decks were mostly cleared for Clinton in 2016, and now there is just a vacuum. At the moment, I'm not the least bit optimistic for Dem general election prospects in 2020.
