1. We should stop pretending that this is "common ground" thing really exists. There are no "never

trumpers" left on the right.

There is no common ground between us and trump.

2. My Answer

Lay out a series of progressive policies that are supported by >50% of the electorate in polls.

Define that as Common Ground

Common Ground should be what the people want. Not compromising with GOP extremists or lobbyists.

Universal Background Checks would be the best example. Widely accepted by polls yet killed by the GOP

3. I like that answer. Pelosi is a master, she likely has some tricks up her sleeve. nt

4. THIS.

There is no real common ground worth pursuing as a priority between the two parties. In the current environment, focusing on "common ground" only makes sense from a public perspective. And from a public perspective, it means doing what the majority think is right and just.

Common Ground should also include "uphold the Constitution" by carrying out effective oversight, i.e., defending the Mueller investigation; acting on, supplementing the Mueller investigation with other House investigations where appropriate, and holding those responsible for and party to Constitutional and other violations publicly accountable.
