John Delaney continues to go after progressive candidates on stage: 'Senator Warren just issued a trade plan that would prevent the United States from trading with its allies. We can't isolate ourselves from the world. We have to engage.' DemDebate

Some 20 presidential primary contenders return to a pair of stages on Tuesday and Wednesday seeking a breakout moment at the second Democratic debates.

The Minnesota Senator was asked about how she would appeal to Trump voters who prioritize the economy over his bigotry, to which she replied: "We'll call his racism out for what it is, and also talk about its consequences.

"I truly believe that if we're going to move on infrastructure in climate change, you need a voice from the heartland," she said. He later added,"On this issue, my friends, there is no choice, we have got to be super aggressive if we love our children and if we want to leave them a planet that is healthy and is habitable. So I don't disagree with Tim. What that means is we got to a, take on the fossil fuel industry."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren comes to the defense of the Green New Deal saying,"Look, I put a real policy on the table to create 1.2 million new jobs in green manufacturing. There's going to be a $23 trillion worldwide market for this. This could revitalize huge cities across this country, and no one wants to talk about it. What you want to do is find the Republican talking point of a made-up piece of some other part and say, oh, we don't really have to do anything.

"We got it signed into law by the one person with whom I agree on almost nothing, Donald Trump," he said. Warren, taking aim at Delaney, then quipped,"I don't understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running to the president of the United States to talk about what we really can't do and shouldn't fight for. I don't get it."

CNN spent the first portion of the debate tonight focused on health care, specifically teeing up the disagreements between those who favor Medicare for All and those who are not. Still, Warren repeatedly came to Sanders' defense and while doubling-down on her support of his bill, she at times seemed better able to control the conversations than he did.

"We need to start looking at this as a public health issue, not a political issue. I agree with Senator Klobuchar. It is the NRA," he added. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, the red-state Democrat, attempted to present a different perspective on stage, saying,"I think this is part of the discussion that shows how often these debates are detached from people's lives. We got a hundred thousand people showing up at the border right now. If we decriminalize entry, if we give health care to everyone, we'll have multiples of that. Don't take my word. That was President Obama's homeland security secretary that said that.

"The point is not about criminalization. That has given Donald Trump the tool to break families apart," Warren said. "'I'm the only one on the stage with experience in the health care business and with all due respect, I don't think my colleagues understand the business," Delaney said."The public option is great but doesn't go far enough. It doesn't go far enough. I'm proposing universal health care where everyone gets health care as a basic human right for free, but they have choices.

"At the end of the day I won't support any plan that rips away quality health care from individuals," Bullock said."This is an example of wishlist economics. It used to be Republicans that wanted to repeal and replace, now many Democrats do, as well. We can get there with the public option, negotiating drug prices."

"The fact of the matter is, tens of millions of people lose their health insurance every single year when they change jobs or their employer changes that insurance," Sanders added."If you want stability in the health care system, if you want a system which gives you freedom of choice with regard to doctor or hospital, which is a system which will not bankrupt you, the answer is to get rid of the profits of the drug companies.

Former U.S. Rep. John Delaney:"Folks, we have a choice. We can go down the road that senator Sanders and senator Warren want to take us with bad policies like medicare for all, free everything, and impossible promises that will turn off independent voters and get trump reelected." Just as 2020 candidate and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock was getting ready to take the stage for his first debate, his team delivered news about a victory back home: the governor just won a year-long lawsuit against the Trump administration.

According to the previous law, donors who gave $5,000 or more in their tax returns would be disclosed to the IRS, although the IRS would redact the donor names when making those documents public. Such groups are commonly called “dark money” groups because they don't disclose their donors publicly unlike other politically active groups that disclose their donors to the FEC such as super PACs.

What’s different about the group? Tuesday will be Gov. Bullock’s first time on a debate stage for the 2020 election.Most political experience – Sanders Least political experience – WilliamsonFormer Maryland Rep. John Delaney will take a shot at making a name for himself on stage tonight by hitting Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, candidates he thinks are running on"impossible promises.

In the photo, Bullock is standing on the stage with his son and said he's"so grateful" to have him in the audience. Despite his criticism of Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Hickenlooper said"oh sure," when asked if he would support either candidate if they win the Democratic nomination, but that both would have a hard time winning Midwestern states like Michigan.

Both the RNC and the Trump campaign's rapid response"war rooms" will be working both nights to clip moments from the debates to send to their massive emails lists and share across their social media accounts. The campaign feels he should"focus our fire and our differences on places where she and I have been allies together and fighting certain fights," Shakir added.

"As the clear front-runner, the attacks will once again be directed Joe Biden's way," a senior Biden campaign official told ABC News. And for Buttigieg -- who will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Sanders, putting their age difference in the spotlight -- the debate will allow him a chance to restore the rising prominence he saw in the early months of the primary after several recent polls show stalling numbers among the middle of the pack.
