Can Donald Trump grow his base, by reaching out to those who might have been offended by his previous remarks, without losing the base by becoming “too political”? It’s a delicate weave to sew for one stitch one way can loosen another stitch the other way. We know he will focus his direct attacks now on Hillary Clinton but her base will only fall by so much therefore Donald should call for a summit of all his previous rivals so they can help build the party behind him. It should be some type of luncheon at one of his Trump facilities in a relaxed atmosphere. At the end of such a summit I’m sure some of his opponents may still not agree to support him but the effort to build bridges will allow others who would normally not back him to reconsider. In the end having most of his rivals supporting him while not some of the “establishment candidates” may allow him to keep his base (cake) and still grow his support (eat it).
