I don't think he should concern himself with it, and he shouldn't make himself involved just to get more votes.

I personally agree that Jerusalem should stay a part of Israel. What's wrong with that? Obviously when he says it should REMAIN undivided he is making clear his stance on Israeli-Palestinian relations. A position he has to make clear considering Israel is the US closest ally in the Middle East and a lot of Jews live in America.
