PP –
In the real world, there just aren't very many base Democrats and Independents to "reconnect" with. In a tight contest, Trump massively lost the popular vote and won the Electoral College by fewer than 80,000 votes in 3 states. A "flip" of 40,000 votes would have us discussing a whole different administration. Republicans lost ground in both the House and the Senate, both by popular vote and by counts of those seated. So again, it isn't clear there are lots of people who need to be "reconnected" to.
I'm not certain what "common points of interest stated by President Trump" would be a basis for agreement. It certainly wouldn't be the unmentioned topic of climate change. Nor the unmentioned influence of Russians. Or the unmentioned rise in alt-right visibility.
There was a great deal of banality in the speech, so formal agreement with sentiments such as “We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts” doesn't seem likely to make a great deal of difference.
It won't be what Trump said to show his anti-immigrant and anti-refugee positions. The Democratic leadership and members had already condemned anti-Jewish and anti-immigrant attacks, so Trump was coming to agree with them. That's a good thing.
It won't be the effort to abandon the sequester-inspired equivalence of military and domestic spending. The various elements of tax reform touted by the President are not likely to win agreement. The Democrats are wary of being burned by certainty of massive increases in deficit spending and vague hopes of increased revenues from a economic bonanza.
Based on prior examples, I wind up agreeing with the observation of Jennifer Rubin, the "Right Turn" blogger for WaPo –
You are smoking too much Colorado burley,pp. Richard Trumka is a strong critic of Trump, though he did approve of trashing tpp. Trumka is wiling to meet with trump but was and is a strong critic of the screaming yam.
Not what I heard him speak in a recent interview.
