Biden: Can Read Him Like a Gamebook A gamebook is a work of printed fiction that allows the reader to participate in the story by making choices. Same principles apply here. Standard tactics to steer folks to "Choose me!": 1. Pull on emotional heartstrings. 2. Bluster and yell to get folks to agree with you, selecting a single subject for focus. 3. Threats-- "let's take it outside" or threatened litigation. 4. Shift blame/Redirect. Throw Trump's name in the mix. All of these = Epic Fail
