jane: how do you prepare for this? they have minute pitch.e their mary anne: if you are smart, you try to break it up into two parts. you try to tell people who you are, where you grew up, give them some biography about yo there are millions of people who wi watch you who have neve laid eyes on you before. that is an important piece of it. the second part is that after you have defined yourself in positive terms, given your background, what kind of contest -- contrast can you draw, either with joeni biden and b sanders because they are on top of the democratic now, or do you can trust -- contrast yourself with donald trump and gofter him? we know that trump is watching tonight as he flies to the g20 and will probably tweet as well. those are the opportunities. for democrats in particular, they want to know that you can beat donald trump. in addition, they want to know that you are capable of fixing the things he has broken. tonight, if you go after trump,o have got to show that you can take him on and beat him, but also what you are made of and when you are going to do if you are the next preside of the united state
