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.
