President ial candidates, 10 of them take the stage tomorrow in the first of a twonight sweep. And the biggest draw, senator Elizabeth Warren. While many of her. Ohhant are behind closed doorz ecoarse preparing for the battle warren is out and about. As you can see about to hold a townhall in miami where she woos voters with another plan. Today unveiling a new Election Security plan. Plans that just the concept of ive got a plan for that now defines warren. Ive gone a plan for that. The good news is i got a plan foltz. Theyre ready for change, and i got a plan for that. And her plans and specifics are defining the Playing Field right now. Senator Bernie Sanders, for example, announcing a more generous plan for student doet only after warren launched her own plane. Ennen learning that joe biden is spending the time days before he appears on stage reviewing his own record from the past nearly 40 years. Mj lee outfront live in miami. To begin the coverage, warren will be the biggest name on the stage, the first night highest ranking in the polls on that stage at the podium. How is she preparing . What is notable is the fact that its the night before the debate and we are going to see Elizabeth Warren campaigning here tonight in miami. We are at Florida International university where she is going to have a townhall with voters and with supporters. And you could argue that that is a kind of debate precip, right. Because we expect she is taking questions from members of the audience. But advisers that ive been talking to tell me that they are very could go nizant of the fact that a counsel is different from the debate tomorrow. There is a timer. There are multiple moderators. And of course the fact that Elizabeth Warren is standing on stage with nine other candidates. Now, part of the debate precip we have been told about is that Elizabeth Warren is trying to sort of boil down the many, many policy proposals that she has put forward so far. So that she can be focused and to make sure she can actually defend every one of the many ideas that she has put forward. Also, even though she is going to be taking center stage we do expect a lot much focus on Elizabeth Warren, of course, erin, ha hard to overstate what a big night this is going to be and how high the stakes are for everybody on stage. For many this is an important opportunity to introduce themselves to voters and really try to have a breakout moment. And make an impression on a lot of the voters who might be turning into the candidacy for the first time, erin. Mj thank you very much. And now the Republican Former senator and 2016 president ial candidate rick santorum. Along with Gloria Borger and paul about a gala who serve as adviser to president clinton. Glory is only one of the top five democrats is warren who is on the stage on the first night tomorrow. The other four Biden Sanders buttigieg and harris all will be on stage at the same time on thursday. So is it an advantage to be the only one in that group on the first night . Or disadvantage for warren . I know lots of folks say its a disadvantage for her because she is not up against bernie or biden on the first night. But i think its an advantage for her. Because first of all youre going to have a big tune in on the first night. She is going to be out there alone. Center stage. Shes got a lot of room to distinguish herself. She can present herself as the liberal who can who can beat donald trump. And so, yeah, i think shes got a lot of room in that group to say, look at me, im the one to take on trump. Whereas if stherp sherp on the other stage shaed have competition. Are rick when you were on stage for the first republican date. You were one of seven in 2012 you were one of no one and that seemed a lot. And now we have two nights of ten each and some arent included. Almost absurd. But the question is how hard is it to have a breakout moment in a situation where you are one of nine and no matter how squefl successful the debate is a lot of it you go, you go, you go heres the clock. Look, i think the the opportunity for someone low in the polls is to come out swinging. And the person you swing at is the person can you which is Elizabeth Warren. In that respect i think its probably a negative for her to be on the stanl as really the oem top dog to go after. The good thing is when you get swung at you get a chance to respond. I suspect youre seeing some people going after her. But shes having a lot more time than everybody else. Because she has the opportunity to respond. Bad thing going after her. Good thing she is going to have extra time. She can say wait i get a chance to respond. I can almost hear it in the same tone of voice. Dont i get to respond to that . I can hear it now. Paul, you played george w. Bush in al gores debate prepare in 2000. What is the most important thing the candidates need to prepare for at the early stage where its important. Someone who has not broken out, this could be the ticket to do sohn a its a crewed stage. It is. But the strategy is really really clear. Theres only one question. Its the first question, the last question. That question in the mine of democrats is, can you beat trump . Are you the one to beat trump . A and that has to be marbled into every answer you give. Rick makes a great point. I think a lot of the people on the stanl with senator warren want to attack her. She has a great to response if she chooses. The response of bill clinton to bob dole in 1996. Its i could respond in kind that wouldnt solve a precip. Wouldnt comfort an elderly person, expand health care. Elizabeth warren is a little bit different. They need to say you have a record too and i could attack it but id rather attack problems. The biggest problem is donald trump and i can beat him. Thats what they want to hear. What is the goal for the candidates. . When you are look for the breakout moment and people dont know who you are people need to be introduce today Elizabeth Warren but im not referring to her when i say that. Some of the others on the stage do they say who they are . Or is the best way to get attention to aim at her. Congressman ryan was on the air and did he a get anyof describing it. He said its like speed dating with the american public. To them running. Thats a great description. Sometimes when you attack, attack, attack you end up being the one looking bad. So its a problem, particularly if senator warren has the answer that ball just gave which i think a great answer. You have to strike a fine balance. You have to tell people what you are for. And in many cases you have to tell them who you are. And where you came from. And what are you doing there . Yes. So they have they have a double job. And warren just has to prove that she is somebody who can take on trump and beat him. Right, she deserves to be where she is in the polls. Yes. And of course higher. Center stanl. I mean, rick, trump, though, look, he has always done things his own way. And just because he does them does not mean its successful for anyone else. The fact that he has done them has change the game and the definition of success in these. Its a rock and a hard place. Here is what he did in the debates. In guy is a choke artist and this guy is a lie. Nasty guy now i know he doesnt have one endorsement. I never attack him on his look. And believe me there is plenty of subject matter there. He has failed in this campaign. Its been a total disaster. Nobody cares. Does that only work for one person . Rick . Well, first off donald trump that field has a lane they are running in. And theyre going to did try to do what they think is necessary to win their mini prer, whether its the far left progressive, whether its the moderate, whether its the fighter. Everybody has a lane. And theyve got to make that calculation as to what they need to do to advance in that lane. And somebody i know doubt is going to do the trump. Someone is going to take the lane of im the bad im the bad guy that can take on the bad guy. You know, what do you think, paul . Especially given the timing here . Its 60 seconds, 30 seconds to respond to a followup and not everyone gets a following up because its too many people and you cant get everybody on every issue. What do you make of the time restrictions . It compose are quoses a lot of discipline. Thats a good thing. Can you say a lot in a little bit of time for god to loved the world he gave miss only begotten shall not perish but shall have ever lasting life. Thats six seconds. Talk to me taut to me by my mom. Thank you for raising me in the faith. You can do a lot in a a little bit of time. You did it faster than a drug disclaimer from pfizer in an ad. It does impose disciplines but does it impose silence. It does for people who have never been in front of this kind of audience and never been on this kind of stage before it does. Its hunlly difficult. You have to say who you are, and who this person running against you is, and why that person is not as good as you are. And i think if Elizabeth Warren is smart she just keeps talking about herself. Because this will fif her an opportunity as people attack her. Tokind of say who she is. But you know, you also have this possibility much turning off a lot of democrats. Who if you look at poll after poll all they want to do is beat donald trump. As paul was saying before, all they want is somebody they believe can take on donald trump and beat him and this is warrens challenge tomorrow night, to say, im that person. I can do it. All right thank you all very much. And next, this is what they say publicly. Look, i think bernie is terrific. Elizabeth is a friend of mine. But really . They are the biggest rivals in the democratic race it appears for the press of lane. Plus President Trump says he doesnt exit strategy on iran after he threatens to obliterate the country again.

Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum ohone day youll tell yourse grandkids about it. And theyll say, grandpa just tell us about humpty dumpty. And youll say, he broke his pelvis or whatever, now back to my creamy heinz mayonnaise. Heinz mayonnaise, unforgettably creamy. The hiro ton, the fight for 2020. The Senior Campaign source for Bernie Sanders says the senator is not conducting mock debates to prepare for the big night hon the debate stage. Sanders of course comes in with a huge advantage over many rivals. He did nine debates in the 2016 primaries. But the woman who is the biggest treat this time for the progressive vote is not named Hillary Clinton. Jeff zeleny is outfront. Its time, its time for the a woman in the white house. Never mind joe biden for now one of the most contests unfolding in the democratic primary is between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Its a battle promising warrens big ideas. This is our chance in 2020. Our chance to dream big, to fight hard, and to win. In sanders pledge for a revolution. Our job is to complete the are you revolution we began. But this time around sanders has considerable competition in his pursuit of progressive voters. Warren is not only stealing a share of his thunder but attracting sanders dmirers who see her as the fresh face of the left, one who they believe may be more electable. As they prepare for the first democratic debate this week in miami their broader policy ideas are similar. With calls to implement medicare for all and fight income inequality. But there are differences. Like the respective plans to relieve student debt. Anders would wipe out all outstanding student debt in the country. But warren proposes to forgive up to 50,000 in household making less than six figures a year. Its a subtle but key distinction between beginning to frame dualing candidacy. They insist its a friendly fight. I think bernie is terrific. We were friends long before i got involved in politics. Elizabeth is a friend of mine. I think she is running a good campaign. Yet beneath the surface tensions rising. Some sanders supporters have never forgiven warren. Im here today because im with her. Yes, her. For endorsing Hillary Clinton in 2016 before sanders dropped out. And sanders is making clear he feels foot steps suddenly painting warren as more establishment candidate after the moldenhauer thirdway said they prefer her to him. At this thirdway meeting i was called an existential threat to the Democratic Party. Sanders made that argument the theme of a beaked speech at the South Carolina democratic convention. They prefer snar senator warren to. You i dont care who they prefer. Thats not what im talking with im talking about needing a exactic the candidate who represents the workers. Many like sanders but believe warren can win and favor her softer touch. I want not as upsetting to other people. But sanders loyalists like nina turper say his ideas drive the 2020 conversation and only he can bring sweeping change. So people have to decide do they want the original or do they want copies . So he is the original. He is the original. Now, senator warren is taking the stage right behind me right now as you can see. And she is holding a town meeting here at Florida International university. Several hundred people here to see her plans and hear her ideas. This is something we have seen from state to state, monthtomonth. Her candidacy rising. The question here is what does senator sanders do in response to that . Their campaign is watching in carefully and watching Elizabeth Warren on the rise. Erin. Thank you very much, jeff zeleny. Lets go to democratic strategy isha moodiemills. Isha, how worried should Bernie Sanders be about Elizabeth Warren who has gotten momentumen he should be worried bus she has moment up. She is rising and almost everyone else is standing still or dhking. The reality is that Elizabeth Warrens bases is similar to bernies. She is cutting into that. He should be concerned about that. Here is the thing. When went went back and sort of there is a plan on student debt and flory plan on student debt he rolls out even more aggressive than hers. Its not just that. They sound strikingly similar on quite a few issues isha like these. We can cancel Student Loan Debt for 95 of the kids who have it. This proposal completely eliminates student debt in this country. I got a lot of problem with billionaires who are not paying a fair share. The greed of the billionaire class never ends. Yes, we could afraid medicare for all. We will guarantee health care to all of our people through our medicare for all Single Player system. I believe that impeachment proceedings should start oh now. Ilk the house should begin impeachmenties on trump. I mean its its striking as i said. So i guess the question though, isha, if you are Elizabeth Warren should you continue with the same messages to allowing the repeat to pick off more sanders supporters or is it time to distance herself from his positions. Well, erin, i want to back up a minute and remind everybody that it was actually back in 2015 Elizabeth Warren was always the darling of the Progressive Movement because so many of the ideas were her ideas that she really created and galvanized the energy on the ground around. And so Bernie Sanders ended up running for president in a way that he kind of had a platform she started and he took and ran with it. Its not surprising that what we are seeing now is that her momentum is coming from the fact that she is reclaiming the conversation and reclaiming scherr had yous and her plans. I think that, you know, that is what we are seeing in terms of differentiation what we will see at the debates is bernie is a democratic socialistist is a praumt but progressive capitalist thats where they break down. Socialist capitalist. I think everyone heard what you said and thats significant. Because thats important certainly as you move beyond primaries which were far from doing. At some point will happen. They
