If you're looking for a way forward in this mess.....what Paula Reid of CBS did at Trump's "Golf Course" press conference yeesterday. She called him out on a lie and persisted forcing him to shut down rather than admit it. Every lie must be thrown back in his face whenever he opens his mouth.

I hesitate to write as I am a Kentuckian, and everyone always wants to ask me to get rid of Mr McConnell. I would love to retire him. I have emailed his office three times this past week over various issues, as his office keeps his voice mail full. His responses, if any, are condensing in tone and substance. Yet he keeps getting into office because there are Kentuckians just like other Americans who are fearful and rather keep the devil they know than face another potential devil. They vote against their own best interests. This morning I have been on a roll with an email to Mr McConnell. I do not engage Mr. Paul, as he is toddler wanting attention and my representative, Mr Barr, as he simply follows Mr. McConnell. I also have once again email the Kentucky Democratic Party stating that the campaign being waged is lukewarm, although later this morning I did see one that is more aggressive. Apologies to Mrs. Obama, but I feel the time time of going high when they go low is over. I do no advocate name calling, but all this needs to be called out in the harshest terms. Perhaps the words of our revolutionary founding fathers need to referenced or the philosophy of Abraham Lincoln which, if I understand the history of the Republican Party is diametrically opposed to the current party. This party cannot compromise. Sorry this is so long, but I recently retired as a Registered Nurse in Case Management at a local hospital. I worked with patients to transition out of the hospital and almost obtained an ulcer over dealing with insurance companies and drug companies. I know first hand of people barely making it and needing help that I could not obtain for them. I am so angry that people like the current president and Mr McConnell think that these people are not worthy of help. By the way, I suggested to the Kentucky Democratic Party that we may need ads of Grandma and Grandpa out on the street because of the policies proposed by this administration. Believe me, there are people that close to that. Again sorry, about the length. But I am angry
