Vote for local races despite nat’l worry

I have seen several cartoons and editorials asking how Christian conservatives can consider voting for Donald Trump. I have to admit that I have my concerns. But what about the Democrats and Hillary Clinton? Many Democrats seem to have lost that little voice inside of them that would question their ability to believe that Hillary really forgot about all the laws she broke with her server, but remembers everything else she did as secretary of state. The little voice that would tell them that Hillary sold influence to foreign governments in the form of paid speeches and donations to the family foundation. The little voice that would say Hillary and Bill have a lot of baggage when it comes to the treatment of women. The little voice that tells you that Hillary would continue the Obama legacy of using the justice department and the FBI as tools to punish enemies and protect their friends. To many Democrats the party has become a religion and they have replaced their conscience with the party line. I encourage fellow Christians to go to the polls and vote the other local, state and national races no matter how you feel about the top of the ticket. The last time when many stayed home we got full Democratic control of state government and we got MNsure, higher taxes, pay raises for appointees and gay marriage.
