As Sen. Bernie Sanders says in the first few minutes of his address to Liberty University students today, it's easy to go give speeches and rallies to the folks who already agree with you.
It's much harder, but arguably more important to address those folks who disagree with you in a civil manner to perhaps find common ground and may even learn something.
Watch even just the opening minutes here - Sanders gets a surprisingly warm welcome at the religious university as he sets out some of his differences with the audience before him.
“I believe in women’s rights. And the right of a woman to control her own body. I believe in gay rights and gay marriage.”
If you haven't understood the Bernie Sanders campaign yet, this is a good introduction.
