It is a terrible thing to do. There are two key things here that you miss. (1) Nothing is free. Trying to court the RW will cost you the LW on policy alone. (2) You don't seem to understand what polarization means. A polarized society hates the other side so much that even positive traits associated with the opposition become a liability. For example, research shows that most people want intelligent well educated leaders. However when their adversary is recognized as being intelligent and intellectual, being one becomes a liability and they will prefer a "folksy" leader. So yes, trying to connect with Trump supporters is a kiss of death, especially if you succeed. >> I don't think that should be a bad thing to do. It would definitely make whoever gets the nomination easier to elect.
