Focus attention on bottom of the ballot

Instead of spending the coming weeks recoiling in horror at the barrage of October surprises both candidates have planned, I’m going to focus on myself, my family, my church, my job and my community.

My attention will be at the bottom of the ballot, not the top. If all Americans did that, maybe, just maybe, we wouldn’t be ending up with candidates like these.
