Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders among 2016ers to address 'No Labels' convention

Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN)In a first for the 2016 presidential cycle, businessman Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders will address the same crowd in New Hampshire, along with six other presidential candidates from both sides of the aisle.

Trump and Sanders, who have been drawing five times the crowds as other candidates in the first-in-the-nation primary state, will make remarks at the "No Labels Problem Solver Convention" on Oct. 12 with Republicans Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Gov. John Kasich, former Gov. George Pataki and Democrats former Gov. Martin O'Malley and former Sen. Jim Webb.

According to organizers, Sanders will address the audience via satellite from Las Vegas where he will be for the first Democratic presidential primary hosted by CNN on Oct. 13. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is not expected to speak at the convention.

"No Labels" is a national bipartisan organization headed up by former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman focused on practical solutions to issues like job creation, balancing the federal budget, securing Social Security and Medicare, and energy security.

Federal, state and local officials will also be present.


FWIW, IMO, No Labels is to the right of Third Way. No Labels was started by a fan of Dimson and is full of graduates of the Bubba and Dimson administrations. Lieberman is the head Democrat. Need I say more?

The consider liberals to be the left's version of teabaggers, not even of less than moderate Republicans, but of the most extreme group within the GOP. And they dub the alleged extremes toxic.

Fuck 'em, says I.

Twice.


I hope Bernie wears appropriate protective gear under his suit.

1. No Labels is a rightwing group pretending to be centrist. It has support of Lieberman & Mark Warner

It is another attempt to push progressive ideas out of the mix, silence the left

[merrily]

3. Could not agree more. Both Lieberman and Warner were, like Hillary, founding members of the DLC.

2. I'd rather he not go at all.

But I suppose as an independent, he's used to dealing with those types.

[merrily]

4. IOW, you want him to pull a Hillary. Might not be a bad idea, but he takes every

opportunity he can to spread his message.

5. To me, it's the equivalent of going on some Fox show or other, just with them pretending to be

reasonable. But he'll do what he'll do, and if it's not what I would do, it's because he's not me

[merrily]

6. I agree with you. I think they will try to show him up, to say the least.

So far, I don't know of anyone who has managed that, though, so there's that.

7. He spoke at Liberty Univ and did so beautifully. I trust him to do well

8. Bernie has no fear of Lieberman or his ilk.

I pity the fools!

[merrily]

9. Bernie doesn't seem to fear anything. Or, at least, he does not let fear stop him.

10. Interesting.

This is something he's done his entire life! So giving a speech
among this group will be nothing new to him. Plus it will give him
a warm-up before the next day debate. Not that he needs any.
He hasn't stopped talking since he announced last spring.

[merrily]

11. Agree.
