Both statements you say are true.
However, most ever does not win a general and Trump knows this. The meeting is the beginning of bringing in all the voters that refused to support Trump to the table and bring them in.
They both know 2 facts.
1) Failure to bring in those that did not win Trump will equate to Trump losing there is no debating this point
2) Failure to do 1 assures at least 2 liberal SCOTUS appointments and. Hillary win
I liked that this happened today.
When you are right you should always seek compromise. Got it.
