If I could leave this body with one wish, it would be that we never give up that search for common ground, .. The politics of common ground will not be found on the far right, or on the far left.

If you can find common ground, you can accomplish great things.

On desperate ground, fight.

Sun Tzu

I think with empathy... It's more looking out at the people. And that includes the Republicans, you know the people that might be opposed to us.
