2. the state of being whole and undivided.

I believe this was the context of the gentleman's comments. I believe most Democrats have very good intentions, which I share. But no intelligent person could ever all this "undivided". That's what the gentleman was talking about. There are some issues that mainstream America is very concerned about , which don't seem to make the Dems' top-5 list.

Trump was able to connect with these fears and points of anger and exploit them for his own purposes. We all know his solutions have nothing to do with the problems that weigh on the general public -- will actually make them all worse. But that doesn't matter to Trump. We had better learn how to speak with a clear voice and bold ideas to the majority of America.
