During the US vice president debate, Plain said:

But diplomacy is hard work by serious people. It's lining out clear objectives and having your friends and your allies ready to back you up there and have sanctions lined up before any kind of presidential summit would take place.

What is line out?

 "Outlining" would be the usual word here, I think. Sounds like the speaker couldn't decide between "outlining" and something like "marking out" and ended up saying "lining out."
