Which candidate has the best shot to bring the country back together post-elect?

The only candidate that I've seen who continually reaches out to all sides has been Trump as opposed to Clinton who makes a point to divide and conquer. This should be a key component to how you vote today.

Trump wants to...Hillary doesn't.

IMO neither. Hillary doesn't want to and even assuming Trump wants to both parties will undermine him.

People can't deny progress. If Trump does what he says he will do thats progress.
As soon as prices of gas, groceries, etc lower the other side will be wanting a seat and a coat. CHOOO CHOOOO

Ask yourself this.
Which party gets elected by pitting one American against another American, rich versus poor, black versus white, cop versus communities, young versus oldgay versus straight, ?
And there you have it. If you want division, keep voting for the big D, and they'll keep sticking it to you. If not, change direction.

This country will never be anymore united than it is right now.
Politics is no longer about he issued it's about division.
When Hillary wins the conservatives will not accept her the liberals will strut around like a bunch of retarded arse clowns acting like she has been vindicated for all her corrupt bullshite.
And if by some miracle Trump pulls it off it will be just the opposite, the MSM and liberals will spend the next 4 years whining and crying while the conservatives hop around say I told ya so like they just won the Superbowl. In the end nothing will change and the country will get further apart.

HRC has zero cross over appeal. Moreover, she has expressed absolutely zero interest in appealing to conservative voters. We're deplorable, remember?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Trump can do this. All I'm saying is that he very openly tried reaching out to African Americans, he travelled to Mexico and Little Haiti to talk to Latinos, and he has a small but vocal gay support base. He made great headway with blue collar dems in the rust belt. At least he tried. And the issue of corruption and establishment politics is a hell of a bridge issue. HRC has no interest in dealing with these problems for obvious reasons.

DJT and not HRC
HRC is only interested in talking to selected groups and deliberately evades unscripted press conferences. Too many secrets and collusion as per personal server and the Foundation pay for play.

Not true. One is the great accuser (Libs) and the other is constantly having to defend itself (Cons) from the accuser's accusations.
Conservatives don't go into black neighborhoods and blame their plight on Democrats, even though they really shouldn't have to since it's their policies that keep them in their station in life.

That rhetoric is just that - rhetoric. Designed for consumption by low information voters. "Coming together" on the issues means Republicans giving in to progressives and is the reason our Government is in the shape it is.
We don't need to unite with proggressives. They will never bend in our direction. They will lie and misrepresent much like they did with Reagan over immigration.
We need to defeat them and drive them all from our government.
This country's founders didn't unite or come together with the British.
This is comparable.

Neither.
The breaking down Americans by color, religion and socio-economic status in order to collect votes destroys any notion of coming together.

Neither of these candidates are going to close the divide in America. We're truly at a tipping point in our history. We just have to wait to see which direction we tip. I don't think the Right and Left have ever been further apart. FWIW, I think it's going to get a lot worse no matter who wins, but I feel like at least Trump has a vision of what America should be like. Hillary will take her vision from the highest bidder.
