I would love to see an event like this for the next year or so: A series of panels, campaign-style

with Sen. Warren, Sen. Sanders, Congressman Grayson, Sen. Sherrod Brown, et al. A pre-planned discussion of the state of our union. Even before candidacies are announced, a series of dozens of town hall panels all around the country, to solidify the Democratic ideals in voters minds. What do you all think? Is there enough time to work something like this in?

But it could work, I think.

candidates could use the help. Also a good party-building exercise for 2016. But I hear you about the republicans. No reason to give them another straw to grasp at.
