On Friday, The Washington Post reported that Jared "Kushner, whom Trump has joked is to the 'left,' pitched a broader immigration deal and had faith that he could negotiate a grand bargain in the coming weeks, according to people familiar with his discussions."
There could be such a "grand bargain," one that has eluded Congress for a decade, but which a divided Congress makes possible. The key is for each party to recognize that its core supporters are made up of the fervent base, the vitriolic fringe and the reprehensible extreme. To the latter - who often dominate social media - no regard should be paid, only contempt.
