If you were the leader of a divided country 30 days before an election, what is your one approach to unite people?

Depends. Lead with the hard truth. Respect comes from honesty, not comfort.

No contest — Support them privately, oppose in the room. Allies need to know the line exists.

Depends. Depends entirely on which generation will judge you. Think 20 years, not 20 days.

Take the hit. Short-term unpopular, long-term respected.
