Tall tales from Toby, who doesn’t sound very conservative as he promises to spend up to 10 million.

@SoDakCampaigns

In an article today at Dakota Scout, the candidates were interviewed with regards to wild-ass allegations that Toby “Dumpster Fire” Doeden was making on facebook claiming there was a nefarious plot to buy off Governor Rhoden in the race.. well, for Governor.

The unsubstantiated accusation, made in a social media post Tuesday and amplified through a paid Facebook ad, underscores the intensity of the high-profile clashing of candidates in an election still nine months away; also signaling South Dakota could be headed for its most combative gubernatorial battle in decades.

and..

Johnson refuted any insinuation of bribery or unethical political jockeying outside of the public eye. His campaign dismissed the charge as “just another tall tale from Toby.”

and..

Johnson has about $7 million in political contributions, while Doeden has pledged to spend “as much as it takes” to match that total. The Groton native, who touts a broad business empire that includes gas stations, truck stops and real estate, has said he is willing to put $10 million or more of his own money into the contest as he positions himself as the conservative alternative to the Republican establishment.

Read the entire story here at Dakota Scout.

Understanding that Doeden does not really have any popular support or donors… If you have to declare you’re going to spend 10 million of your own money, can one really claim one’s self as “the conservative alternative?”  It doesn’t really seem he’s walking the conservative walk when he flies his jet into his events (while Logan Manhart and Cole Heisey log highway miles driving the bus), and says he’ll spend $10 million of his own money on the campaign.

If you or I had ten million dollars of our own money? Who in their right mind would spend it on a political campaign?!? That doesn’t sound as if a person is conservative. That sounds more like someone has an unchecked ego that they want to unleash on the state.

  3. $10 million? Put every asset you have on the line. Max out the debt load! This is too important! You can do this Toby!

  4. Trying to figure what money-making scam this grifter is trying to run here. Social media? Who’ll click on a thumbnail pic of an overweight Hellboy? Motivational speaker? “all you here today are to dumb to make your own decisions, I”ll make them for you”. Not quite the Tony Robbins schtick but, maybe . . . ?

  6. Our state has a $4-billion or so annual budget. $10M is such a tiny fraction of that.
    If you look at the logical underpinnings of the poor / lower / middle class support for Donald Trump, you see that often his most loved attribute is that “he’s already rich, can’t be bought, so he’s beholden to NOBODY. He is free to truly be a just and fair leader.”
    So let’s ignore the fact that Trump accepts every bribe offered, will enrich the billionaires and tax the rest of us nearly to death, and is making our free bipartisan government vanish as quickly as our standing in the world is sinking.
    It is PURE HYPOCRISY to love Trump’s “rich-and-free-to-rise-above-corruption-superpower” yet, loath this quality in Mr Doeden, who can’t help but be a much more law abiding and decent citizen than Trump ever ever was.

    1. Let’s just say there would be most likely a long line of Brown County residents alone that would more than likely be willing to go public and give testimonials about Toby Doeden that would essentially say Buyer Beware! Those testimonials would not reflect well on Toby’s character with how he got to where he is today being the most unlikable person in Aberdeen.

    2. The state’s budget hasnt been as low as 4 billion in a decade. Current budget is just below 8 billion.
