People need to remember one thing about voting. It is not a popularity contest. It is a job interview. Vote for the candidate who has the qualifications and background to do the best job.

Take a good, long look at your gas, grocery and utility bills. Don’t go in and vote straight party because that’s what your parents and grandparents did. If that’s what you’re going to do, do everyone a favor and stay home. Try and actually figure out what you’re voting for, especially if you have a job and pay taxes.

The world has two types of people: makers and takers. If you can’t figure out which party represents which, then crawl back into your smartphone-based world and hope some liberal DA doesn’t get you killed.
