The Democratic Playbook
When they tell you what they are planning to do, believe them! Sometimes the obvious is overlooked. Sometimes the opposition forgets that they have moved outside their own echo chamber and they tell you just what they are thinking and planning. Sometimes they slip up and throw a brick through your front window that gets your attention.
While I am going to talk about the Democrats here, remember the other side of the UniParty. They do the same things from time to time.
