    Though Trump is called divisive, he's actually unifying reasonable people on both left and right against him.

        I'm finding it v. satisfying to follow staunch, principled conservatives writing in defense of the rule of law (etc),& against Trump

        Me too. There is a stratigraphic layer of thoughtful people that's usually obscured by the orthogonal left/right line.

        And yet the latest polls, according to 538, say that Trump would have a 46% chance of winning an election today. :-(

        guess there's a lot fewer reasonable people than we thought.

        yet ... according to polls (if accurate), he's in a dead heat with Hillary in the swing states. More about him or her candidacy?

        Same thing happened in council with the famous Rob Ford. A divisive character can unify disparate groups by presenting a common enemy

        Sorry @paulg that's not true, since @BernieSanders endorsed @HillaryClinton her poll lead went from 6pts to 0 not ahead of @realDonaldTrump

        *against him and his followers. Now there is a division between "reasonable" people and Trump followed. I'd call that divisive, no?

        so he's not divisive but ideologically redistricting. A politician after all...

        But they are only unified in their rejection of Trump, nothing else.
