Just had a note from the Brandon area.
So, the word is Dist 2 candidate for House and California transplant Manuel Luschas seems to be actively campaigning for Frank Kloucek for PUC. Apparently, his idea of “Republican Values” are to put Democrats in office.
I’m told Luschas’ wife was dropping these packets around the area. Featuring he, Heather Baxter for Secretary of State, and Frank Kloucek for PUC.
Again, here’s another one who incoming leadership should take notice of.
California Carley 2.0. Except less Republican.
Frank is with us. He supports the common man. JFK dem
Wait, he took an allegiance to vote and support r’s but you didn’t, right?
These folks aren’t R or D in a traditional sense. They are populist. Against everything with no solutions, no clue and no regard for reality.
Seems to be a lot of fake Republicans in South Dakota.
Just shows how ridiculous liberals are that they switch parties just to get elected, and push liberal agendas!
RLTW
Why is this alleged Demo action ridiculous if its working?
In the other story about a Republican backing Kloucek, mention was made about his very public statements against data centers, and that he’d have to recuse on all votes concerning data centers.
If I was a good bought and paid for republican, I’d want to back someone who couldn’t vote at all against my friends, rather that some populist “r” who’d feel free to vote against my friends later. Looks like good business to me. There is no way to make a party loyalty argument when your party has been taken over by self serving disloyal populists.
Party loyalty should not be the criteria. Each is an individual capable of selecting the best person for the job.
Let’s be Frank. People over party and that is one of the many reasons Frank is all over the state gaining support. Imagine how many Republicans would be crossing over for Ahlers had Toby Doeden had been successful in buying the primary.
Wait, so why is it positive for Monae to support a dem, but bad for Luschas to do the same? Do you have literally any scruples, Pat?
Unfortunately, Frank is the only choice is you care about property rights. This is what happens when our “leaders” pick bad candidates at the convention. Hopefully the SoS and PUC races will be a wake up call.
I don’t remember Frank being chosen in a primary. Just a different convention and still a bad candidate.
The PUC needs a common man. That would be Frank. Good candidate that will work for everyone not just his donors or friends.
Folks on this board are slipping. Thought y’all would have your long knives out blaming Eschenbaum for all these ‘defections’
I still haven’t heard of anyone running against Eschenbaum. Does anyone want to run for SDGOP Chair? Anyone? No? Then another term it is!
Looks like some republicans might be seeing the rot in their party
Ya, the rot was Hansen, Lems, Jordan, Garcia, Carley, Jensen, Perry, Novstrup, Schaefbauer, Mulally, Randolph, Ismay and others.
Forever known as part of Team Rock Bottom.
RINO!
Manuel Luchas, Lauren Nelson, Levi Ravioli and the growing list of RINO’s continues!
Interestingly, in an article in the Brandon Journal, Mr. Luschas also urged people to vote for Brian Bengs and spoke favorably of Dan Ahlers while criticizing Governor Rhoden.
He escaped California politics but would like to bring Proposition 13 to South Dakota.
I’m only scratching the surface with questions raised by his answers in the Journal but I can say that this moderate Republican will not be casting a vote for Mr Luschas.
Thanks for the green light to not support Baxter…just when I was thinking I can’t vote for a Dem.
Frank the Tank will win!!!!
Pat’s logic of convenience, R’s must blindly support R’s when he likes them, but radio silence when he doesn’t.
Who are you voting for in the SOS race again?
Those stupid packets are a perfect example of why the SDGOP and any county GOP is worthless. The State and County GOPs should be working TOGETHER to print off one door hanger with local candidates instead of making a packet of pamphlets. Lazy, unprofessional, and it looks like a preschool crafting idea.
