Cafaro, Kasich at bipartisan New Hampshire event

O’Malley was the first of eight candidates from both parties participating in the event.

Presidential hopefuls Ohio Gov. John Kaisch, Sen.

GOP candidates Trump and Kasich will speak at the event along with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, South Carolina Sen.

The co-chairs of No Labels are former Sen. Jim Webb (R-VA).

No Labels, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization established in 2010 and committed to creating a productive governing environment, enraged Democrats last fall when it endorsed Gardner in his run against Democratic U.S. Sen.

“I knew I shouldn’t have picked her“, Trump responded. No Labels is a growing citizens movement of Democrats, Republicans & independents devoted to ushering in a brand new era of drawback solving in American politics.

Former Maryland governor Martin OMalley (D) listed liberal reforms achieved in his state, where Democrats are the majority.OMalley received one of the oddest questions of the day from a spandex-wearing Problem Solver Man who wanted to know which bipartisan restaurant OMalley would frequent with Republican leaders.

“Do you agree America is worth fighting for? Life at its best is a series of tradeoffs”. “This is what (former GOP President Ronald) Reagan and former (Democratic House Speaker Tip) O’Neill did”.

Bottom line: Problem Solver Man might actually need a few real superpowers to turn this partisan tide. I like the word compromise. “Meaning, let’s compromise - and win“. “Right now in Washington we have an attitude that to compromise is to capitulate, but it’s not the case”. “But we have the same goal in the end - to get something done”. “There’s no easy solution to the gridlock that we see now”. “This is going to be a problem until such time as you get China to develop more of a rule of law. What we need are answers to the problems, not just campaign rhetoric”, Sanders said via teleconference. Joe Lieberman, an independent, described Monday’s convention as “speed dating” between presidential candidates and New Hampshire’s independent voters, who can cast ballots in either the Republican or Democratic primaries.

- “Working across partisan lines - that’s what we have to do now”.

Ayotte also talked about both parties working together to reduce the debt and tackle the heroin and prescription drug problem. He noted that he is a Republican who has worked with a Legislature controlled by Democrats. But, he added, I dont think anybody in this room wants somebody who is not going to fight back.

“In the Senate, you get a lot more time to work with people and to understand the personalities involved - because one senator can stop the whole process from going forward”. “A couple of months ago, he was with me in Eastern Colorado doing a farm tour”.

The Problem Solver Convention, organized by No Labels and The Hill, is the first opportunity for voters to hear from candidates from both major parties.

Go on the Record - I will affirm these commitments in my public remarks and on my campaign website.

The need to pivot toward bipartisan collaboration was echoed by members of Congress, state government leaders, the business and entertainment communities and college students from more than one hundred No Labels chapters from across the country. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Sen.

U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, and Gov. Maggie Hassan, a Democrat who is challenging Ayotte in 2016, also spoke at the convention. Cory Gardner, R-CO, and Republican and Democratic members of Congress who support the No Labels goals of bipartisan progress on key policies which have too often been dominated by short-term political considerations.
