Give them some kind of metaphorical soapbox. Then tell them thanks and then tell them how they are wrong. Or how on the things there is agreement on, gtell them how Trump is wrong and Bernie is right.

But how do you stage manage that? Sign up in lobby? Screening? Time? Rules?

It would be tough to pull off I think.
