Here is a good one to kick things off.

I do think there needs to be more discussion, there are SOME liberal ideas and pet projects that are so much stronger and more reasonable than the alternative I think we can win the argument with conservatives on by talking to them. Like universal healthcare. We won't ever get them all, but I think we can sway enough to change the game, and due to the balance of power of small states and representation in the house, we need them.
