Here I discuss how rank partisanship is destroying our federal political system. But it doesn't have to be this way. During my eight years as Kentucky's Democratic Governor, the Kentucky Senate was controlled by Republicans, while the House was controlled by Democrats. But most of the time, after elections were over, I was able to get both sides to remember that we were Kentuckians first and Democrats and Republicans second. Therefore, we accomplished some great things for our people.
