The South Dakota Republican Party is announcing tonight that Bart Sample has been selected to replace center Tom Pischke on the fall ballot, after Pischke was arrested & charged with election fraud related offenses:

Sample had placed third in June in the House primary, and now faces Republican Bryan Breitling who is running as an independent in the November election.

Hmmm….why not nominate Bryan Breitling instead? Bottom line, anyone will be infinitely better than Pischke!
Actually, if anyone is a worse choice than Pischke, it’s Bart Sample. Granted, it was hard to pick anyone worse, but they managed to do it.
You wanted Republicans at a Republican Party meeting and election to select an independent to replace a Republican on the ballot?
As a resident in District 25, I find Bryan Breitling far more representative of actual Republican values and policies than Pischke & Sample. He’s clearly the best choice for anyone that actually knows them.
Bryan Breitling’s political history is running and serving as a Republican, and he will caucus with them if he wins in November.
The only reason Bryan Breitling declared as an Independent was to run against Pischke in the general election, as a low turnout primary would favor Pischke running as the incumbent.
BuwahahaHAHAHAHA! Bart Sample.
Pischke’s wife laughing. Pischke’s wife laughing.
I swear to God, at first glance I thought they picked Bart Simpson.
Bryan Breitling has commanded troops under fire as a patriotic American. He’s proven himself as vice chair of senate Approps. A solid vote for all citizens in District 25
Yup. They should have selected Bryan, who will run hard.
D25 doesn’t appreciate transplants. He is wasting his time.
He was born and raised in South Dakota, he’s not exactly a “transplant”.
great
A Stace Nelson devotee with an anger management problem
Yep, exactly!
Gerrymandered District 25 stretches from northern Moody county into Sioux Falls. You’re telling me the best they could find is somebody that voters already rejected in June? SMH
Hopefully, he’ll be rejected in November, as well.
Bryan Breitling is obviously the best choice, and has been since he announced his candidacy.
Another jackass to replace a slightly worse jackass. D25 continues to disappoint
Bryan isn’t a Republican
yes he is. He is running as an independent but everybody who isn’t hiding in his parents’ basement to avoid paying child support knows he’s a Republican.
