It's not appeasement to talk to your enemies.

You don't need to know who's playing on the White House tennis court to be a good president

Machines are neither Republicans nor Democrats and therefore can never be consciously or even unconsciously biased.

You talk to your enemies, not just your friends.

Who could not be moved by the sight of that poor, demoralized rabble, outwitted, outflanked, outmanoeuvered by the U.S. military? Yet, given time, I think the press will bounce back.

It's not appeasement to talk to your enemies.

I understand personally, ... that it is frustrating to lose presidential elections by narrow margins.
