Episode notes
Avoid Hyperbole On Health Care
- Craft messages that are credible and avoid hyperbole to maintain voter trust on issues like health care.
- Stick to simple, verifiable claims about premiums and costs rather than apocalyptic predictions.
Legal Case Likely To Falter
- The Comey arraignment and legal coverage are likely to end without dramatic courtroom spectacle.
- Mark predicts the case may be thrown out or fail to produce a conviction, affecting political optics more than jail time.
Narrow Questions Win Hearings

- Ask direct, precise follow-ups like "You said X; define X" to control the narrative in hearings.
