A new radio advertisement has appeared on the state’s airwaves which represents a harder line being taken in the US Senate Race. State Representative and US Senate Candidate Scyller Borglum is running a fairly harsh attack ad against her opponent, incumbent US Senator Mike Rounds:
“Borglum Answers South Dakota. Scyller, why should we send you to Washington? Our Senate seat should not be used as a corrupt gateway to sell American citizenships to wealthy Chinese. China has a true friend in Mike Rounds. Mike has spent 14 years selling citizenships to the highest bidder enriching his cronies, his lawyers, and his political appointees with communist Chinese money. He opposes Mandatory County of Origin Labeling. He hasn’t had a new or original idea in his entire career. Make this Senate seat South Dakotan again. Paid for by Borglum for U.S. Senate. I’m Scyller Borglum and I approve this message.”
This ad is also partnered with facebook advertising with this theme as well:
While going negative might have been one way to go after the former Governor, it’s usually not brought out as a weapon in the last week, with conventional wisdom telling candidates to be positive going into the finish.
The ad does embellish a bit, especially claiming that Rounds “hasn’t had a new or original idea in his entire career.” That whole neutrino lab in the Black Hills. I can personally attest to the fact that Mike Rounds was the person who found a way to make it happen.
As for the rest of it, I’ll let you be the judge.
1 week from today, we’ll find out if it worked.
If only she lived in South Dakota to see Boz, She’d understand the comparison. Lol
Turns out Borglum is even more desperate and conniving than Boz. Borglum also has a liberal voting record that proves she is a RINO.
Dr. Boz, who is a pretty young scammer, is living the life of luxury on a beach in Hawaii. Ms. Borglum probably has her eyes on a similar ending.
And this garbage is why I will never vote Borglum. She is a disgrace and embarrassment. She has only lived in our state a few years and is now lying about our good Senator and resorting to juvenile tactics. She should move back to Texas.
She’s from Montana, but I take your point.
“Borglum is from Great Falls, Montana. She graduated from Charles M. Russell High School in 1995. Borglum attended Pacific Lutheran University, where she earned a Bachelor of Business Administration. Borglum attended Montana Technological University, where she earned a master’s degree in petroleum engineering. She then enrolled at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.”
I didn’t realize how nasty Scyller was until now.
Borglum and Krebs are very similar. The only difference is one of them actually raised money to run a campaign but they are both out of their minds.
EB5 allowed nearly 60 Chinese nationals to obtain ownership and a path to a green card. It swirled around the Deadwood Mountain Grand, involved a nasty lawsuit with Big and Rich. EB5 was nasty and deadly.
Inasmuch as the ad is truthful, Rounds may have some issues, here ..
Interesting ..
Rather than attacking Borglum, why not address the EB5 criticism (if you can)?
My concern is that, while this might be a good strategy to win, do we have an indication that Borglum will do better?
Messrs. Big and Rich are the least corrupt individuals involved in the Slime Plant, Mr. Dale, and you know that. And there is none of the 5Gs roaming around up there either. It would vibrate the tin off the sides of the building. I only assume you frequently attend the concerts there with the loud music and moshing, so you know this, and if that is true you are being disingenuous. As Spearfish opens up, and the golf balls begin to fly, people will forget about all this COVID business.
Grudznik, you are unusually clueless. The golf balls are already flying in Spearfish! Usually you’re more astute. You must be spending too much time at Sawyer, or Crow Peak, or Spearfish brewery, all of which are open and full of people that don’t seem to be too concerned about any of these charges — except that do use bad words at Elkhorn when the balls misteriously fly into the canyons.not me, but I’ve heard.
Maybe Grudznik is suffering from Tally’s Caffeine Withdrawal. I heard three employees tested positive for COVID-19.
You are righter than right, as usual, Mr. Schoenbeck.
Good strategy to win? I think you forgot the “not” in front of the “good”. This ad is negative to the point of being very off-putting except the very rabid Rounds-haters. She comes off as a nut job.
And what are Rounds accomplishments…
Besides being anti-Veteran during his governorship?
…it’s so much easier to tear someone’s $h!t down than to build something….
Maybe talk about what you are going to do to make a change and build something up.
Skyler enjoy your standard 12% of the vote in the primary…
I hope you enjoyed cutting that check to the out of state “political experts” and their advice is to burn all the bridges and scar the earth to get your name out.
Here’s some free advice (I know you get what you pay for, but free advice is better than the bad advice you are paying for)
Talk about what you can do, not what you think someone else can or can’t do…..
Throwing crap make you smell like a horse ass…
You have done little to even get your name out except to throw shit bombs at people and from what I can tell throw others under the bus…
Not sure what your point is to run with the way you campaigned…if I wasn’t following the elections you would prob have zero name recognition to me, meaning the average voter prob has no clue who you are.
I’m not sure if Dr Boz or you would be interesting at a party…
I bet Dr Boz can wear a Che shirt and Skylar can wear a Fidel shirt and talk about how the boomers in SD don’t get it…
Sorry folk just had to vent on a little on this….
How sad. She lives in a world of delusion. Her campaign has never made any sense. Now she’s getting to the end and she’s lashing out. It’s not going to help her one bit.
She’s clearly a liberal posing as a conservative… we all knew that. But, I hesitated to use the word “loser” in describing Ms. Borglum… not anymore!
Skyler just destroyed her own political career. The downward spiral started when she lied about Dusty “intimidating” her (looks like his honest advice was good advice). I know she has only lived in our state a few years, but she is going to have to find a new state to go con people in.
What about EB5? I’m not seeing any comments regarding EB5, the packing plant, selling green cards to the Chinese, etc.
All personal ad hominem attacks on Borglum. That’s not how you win on substance in 2020, but Rounds’ inertia might still carry him over the finish line. What this demonstrates, though, is that Neocons are vulnerable.
Thune, in particular, seems invincible. He will either change some of his views and push back against his big donors, or his elections will be a nail biter.
What SD Senator DOESN’T want to win in an uncontroversial landslide? This requires NOT that Thune compromise principles, but rather that he hold true to them (5G and other RF is a sanctity of life issue .. unlike Covid, we can do something about 5G and we should).
Will Thune step up and start being more of a statesman and less of an unquestioning yes-man to big Pharma and Big Tech (two unaccountable tyrannies run amok)?
“Big and Rich are the least corrupt individuals involved in the Slime Plant”
Grudz – I’m saying it’s a tragedy they got conned (my opinion) into bringing in the Chinese. When they realized what was happening, they tried to sue to get out of it .. they did not win, but it brought attention to the fact that we have a very serious culture/politics/law issue in Deadwood. I feel really bad for B & R, and respect that they did their best to peel off from the EB5 isht-show.
Part of my wonders if this is related to Wayne’s 4th of July suicide .. hmmm.
Grudz, here’s the 5G infection map (link below). It’s spreading quickly .. seems to have spread even faster with the Covid thing (imagine that).
The red is commercial installations. I recommend a good personal safety device up to 100Ghz .. if you have an “event”, we can check the logs to see if it corresponds to 5G signal.
Who has the ability to overlay 5G installations (first hand ground truth sensor data, not published third party data) with Covid infections? I know at least one person ..
Thune, in my opinion, is heading toward un-election in the age of new, independent, more authentic/honest media:

Many people in the ranks of South Dakota’s Republican Party took the red pill decades ago. We have critical mass, now; an opportunity for those forced to tow the globalist line to break free and actualize some good ol’ fashioned US of Americanism.
Also, a reminder that Pompeo warned US Governors of Chinese infiltration into municipal government (Microsoft technology) and our universities (See “PATRIOT Program Director at Dakota State University, and Confucius Institutes Institutes).
At this point, because she has demonstrated that she is paying attention, Borglum has my vote (that wasn’t the case 3 days ago). I’m waiting for Rounds cogent, valid, effective defense of his participation in EB5. So too are the folks who entrusted their reputations to the program (oops).
That is all.
to borglum detractors: i would agree with mr. dale on this, in terms of getting answers to what is really going on with regard to the aftermath of eb-5, what it gave us, and what goes on behind the scenes (and on whose behalf.) bring it.
Well, let’s see- EB5 got us Demkota- an American company in Aberdeen processing US cattle and creating hundreds of jobs. Chinese invested in the project and lost money. It got us Dakota Provisions in Huron – another American company processing SD turkeys and creating hundreds of jobs. It got us the Deadwood Mountain Grand. Another American company creating hundreds of jobs. Chinese invested in that project too and lost money. Fact is that EB5 has been in law for about 30 years. This issue has been covered beyond belief for the past decade in SD, meanwhile dems keep using their talking points in a desperate effort to hurt Rounds.
Um, “dems” aren’t doing this. It’s Rounds’ challenger bringing up anti-China stuff.
In name only- she has a voting record more liberal than some dems in the legislature. She even voted to allow sanctuary cities in SD to house illegal aliens.
“china invested and lost money.” if they’re still the owner of record, losses are immaterial. control of captive supply and predatory reduction of competition are real and verifiable.
So the way I understand it, the Chinese investors got ripped off for millions of dollars, sued to get their money back, and eventually reached a confidential settlement. In the meantime, jobs were created for South Dakota residents.
I don’t think this is a good year to complain about bilking Chinese investors out of their money. Just my thought.
Rounds has a HUGE political attack surface:
