Just thought I'd point out that our Attorney General popped up in the swing state of Missouri post-debate. Certainly seems one way to reassure the base since he showed up at Evangel University to talk about the education of spirit.

Freedom requires truth. And the search for truth must include a focus on mind, body and spirit.
