Oh, Medicaid cuts would be devastating for Kentucky, but really all of rural America. So Medicaid covers the people that we love the most, our parents and our kids. Half of Kentucky's kids are covered by Medicaid. 70% of our long-term care costs for our seniors are covered by Medicaid. So what happens when you cut Medicaid? Kids see the doctor less.

And so think about it from the job loss, but think about it from this way. It's not just those on Medicaid. It's everybody else who is going to see the doctor in their community when their rural hospital closes has to drive two hours to a bigger city to see the same doctor who had to move because they lost their job. This will be... devastating, devastating across the country.

I think it's three things. It's focus on the core concerns that Americans wake up with in the morning. It's talking to people like they're real people, not using all the sanitized language that's been out there. And third is sharing your why.
