No Labels event in N.H. to draw Trump, Sanders (via satellite.)

[elleng]

Businessman Donald Trump, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Ohio Gov. John Kasich will headline a bipartisan presidential forum in New Hampshire next month aimed at addressing the nation’s most urgent problems. . .

No Labels, a group that targets dysfunctional government, is holding a daylong “Problem Solver Convention” on Oct. 12 with eight presidential candidates in Manchester.

GOP candidates Trump and Kasich will speak at the event along with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and former New York governor George Pataki.

Democratic hopefuls Sanders, ex-Maryland governor Martin O’Malley and former Virginia senator Jim Webb will also address the convention. Organizers said Sanders would speak via satellite from Las Vegas, Nev., where Democrats will be holding their first presidential debate the following night.

Hillary Clinton was asked if she would attend the No Labels event earlier this month during a campaign appearance at the University of New Hampshire, and she said she would be preparing for the Nevada debate.

1. Clinton avoiding debate? What a surprise!

But seriously, I'm glad something like this is happening. We need more debates in general, and having both Republicans and Democrats exchanging their views to a common audience is a great way to go about it. Looking forward to the 13th.
