Can you wear out a mute button?

First it was Trump, now Conway and just added Pence. It is the tone, the content, the repeating the same meaningless points and the lies. I cannot stand their voices, their ignorance (especially Trump and Conway) and the smug self righteousness of Pence.

My husband swears we are going on a news diet for a few days and see if our mood improves... Plus he is worried about getting carpal tunnel from hitting the mute button on the tv, and the change channel button on the car radio.

nothing was going to get us to vote for that awful man. I do worry about blood pressure problems just from watching the news.

We have also noticed our friends feeling the same way. We went to an alumni dinner Friday night, it was like an elephant in the room. The Black alums were very agitated and on guard.

This campaign could destroy the democracy and take some people with it on a personal level. Thank goodness Hillary is in charge, and we are only a month out.

I just don't think he will go away. I think he either starts his own network to keep the hate going, or is on Fox 24/7. If we don't find a way to tamp down the hate this campaign has started this country is doomed.
