First, try to bring the country together, and not pull us further apart
It is hard for me to think of any President doing anything directly policy wise in our history to accomplish this. Usually this takes some sort of national tragedy created by an external actor.

Then there is a laundry list--the economy, immigration reform, education, the costs of a college education, better training for technical jobs, assisting DoD in creating a modern fighting force and cutting a way the needless spending there.
And is there some specific law or act that you are keen on, or is there some grand compromise that you envision. These seem like broad issues.

-The border get secured.
-Comprehensive immigration reform.
-A balanced budget.
-A reduction in the federal workforce.
-A reduction in corporate welfare.
-A reduction in the public welfare roles.
-More programs left to the states, when possible.
-A more special forces/intelligence role in the "War on Terror".
-We need to make things in America, again. We need to bring manufacturing back home. I'd like to see a push to bring our industrial cities back.
That is a pretty specific list with the exception of comprehensive immigration reform- Pretty sure wfeliciana and Hillary would not wan't to get any of that done.

Oh I agree, you can't make all the disagreements go away. But you can develop an atmosphere of cooperation knowing that on some things the parties will differ. I think she would have handled Congress very differently than the current President.

They are broad issues that I listed and Smalls gave some that were more specific.
