Hello listeners this is political

this is political's nerd cast I'm Scott Bland your host and we're coming at you today

with a preview of this week's democratic debates and this is going to be the second

set of debates of the primary season Tuesday and Wednesday night in Detroit.

20 candidates divvied up 10 to a night on CNN.

And we've got Chris Cadillago, National Political Reporter for Politico here here in the studio to talk to us about it.

Hello Chris.

Hey, what's up?

Not much.

Thanks for being here. Yep, of course.

All right, so let's start out just quickly here, a little lightning round.

What's the most important thing that you're looking out for on Tuesday and Wednesday?

So I'm looking at the two big match-ups.

This is going to be sort of a higher level look, but Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on the first

night and then the second night kind of a

trio in some ways but Kamala Harrison Joe Biden with a little bit of

Corey Booker based on the heat he's been bringing over the last few days.

And now tell you you have the heat has been bringing over the last few days.

And now, you have a story out about kind of some of the preparations and expectations

going into this debate, especially given what candidates saw work in June.

Yeah, one of the biggest takeaways I think people saw was the fact that conflict worked.

It worked among folks in the first debate with Julian Castro
