the minute of the debate. he might be tweeting during the deba debate. as someone that has been in this rare back room, what advice would you give then? well, you know, it is tough. you want to prepare fundamentalry for two things. you want to be ready for everything. and you want your one thing to be ready. so on the one hand, you want to make sure someone knows what the price of gas is or what a gallon of milk is or how much a stamp is. you worry about someone knowing basic stuff. but what you really want is you want your candidate to be able to take the time they have to deliver the message that they do every single day. if a candidate says something on the stump tomorrow, different than what they re saying wednesday night, then that s a little bit of a problem. you want to deliver your message at a debate. you don t want to create your message. and time is of the essence. you and i are having a conversation right now that is longer than probably most of the candidates will be a
victorious candidate. thanks to each of you for kicking off this special. we have, as promised, a lot more. dnc chair will talk to us about this debate. i may raise some criticism as well. al sharpton is here to talk about what he learned from his interview, including this one that is making waves today. we ll break down the less sons of those moments that can define a candidate for years from past primary debates. some really fun archives if you are into that thing. and malcolm gladwell on how voters process choice overload. plus a few surprises from the greats. stand up to the mayor, whoever the mayor is. this is an exciting time to be in our business. isn t it, though? you re watching special coverage of the road to miami, the first presidential debate tonight on msnbc.
rights leader. while that has been a big debate between democrats, when it comes to taking on trump, the president fuelling more debates with his delay to round up immigrant families that were supposed to occur this weekend. a walkback also on the potential strike against iran. most democratic candidates do welcome those outcomes. but they re still slamming the president for his process and allegations. let s get right to it, kicking off our special coverage with this spashl panel. thanks to all of you for joining us this sunday night. thank you, ari. great to see you. i give it to you first looking at where joe biden got to. is this diffused before he took the stage. i think we have two priorities going into 2020. we have to get trump out of
how will you doing? i m good. that s strange. it s sped up. it looks like a chaplain movie. we wanted to get to the heart of it. i don t need your slow walk before the moment, you know. so what do you think is important when the democrats take the stage, especially such a large one? well, you know, there are going to be a couple of things to look for. you want to look at what s in the paper wednesday morning, 12 hours before the debate even starts. it is 72 hours from now, enough to be excited and for you to have a live special. but the world can change and typically does in three days. what we re talking about today, whether it is about joe biden of pete buttigieg might not be what we re talking about on wednesday. yeah, it is a crowded stage, but there is an 11th person that doesn t have a podium. it s donald trump. donald trump is going to be an issue in this in a way he hasn t otherwise. i don t just mean that as being the incumbent and people saying they don t like the incum
