The goal of the event, Halperin added, is to provide the political representatives with an opportunity to engage in an “orderly” discussion at a time when the presidential campaign “is going into hyper speed.” Shaheen said it is important for the political contenders to establish “markers”—landmarks along the campaign trail including endorsements, donations, or position papers that signal the relative strengths of presidential campaigns. “I hope this will...
