Instead, I’m going to ask you, on pragmatic grounds, what is to be gained here. In searching for that elusive common ground, you’ve basically courted the people from those districts that actually went more heavily Republican in 2008 than in 2004—you know, those old white people living in the Smoky Mountains and the Ozarks, the GOP’s only remaining base. The people you’re “reaching out” to here don’t respect you and never will. What’s more, many of them will be dead in a couple of years, and they’ll go to their graves clutching their Left Behind books and spitting at the sound of your name and the Muslim Marxism it stands for. And meanwhile, you’ve alienated pretty much everyone who voted for you. That doesn’t seem very pragmatic to me.
(Confidential to MB: Thank you for the kind note.)
