It’s not a hard attack, but the Borglum Campaign is starting to use video to go after her opponent, incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds, in a clip that was just posted to Facebook and is being advertised. Check it out here:
What do you think? Is it a little early for the negative, or is this what Scyller needs to do if she wants to compete?
The floor is yours.
Has any candidate for a statewide office in SD ever run attack ads this early in a campaign? This is disgusting gutter politics and I am still sick of it from the 2018 cycle. Borglum should focus on giving people a reason to vote for her instead of tearing other people down. She should be ashamed and her family should be embarrassed. I once thought she had great potential, but now that her true colors are starting to show, I will NEVER vote for her for anything.
Well what is the reason to vote for Mike rounds that he kept his promise on getting rid of the Department of Education ?
He had no plan to reduce the federal deficit or debt and voted many times to ncrease the debt– because that would take leadership and guts instead you just Smiling Mike not taking any positions on anything because that might actually make him accountable.
Mike Rounds is third from last in senate productivity. We are paying for his permanent vacation at tax time.
I like Sean hannity’s penny plan…decrease every government expense by one penny each year instead of the automatic yearly increases. Who misses one penny?
I did not hear the magic words I’m Skyler Borglum and I approve this ad
Observation number one— it is fair to go after any politician because none of them are addressing the national debt
Observation number two– I do not think her plan is practical –call for a nationwide popular vote?
Borglum has no credibility to attack anyone on budget issues. She did ZERO during last session’s legislative budget process.
Her plan is not a “real plan.” It will never happen. It’s make believe. It does nothing to tackle our debt.
No surprise. Borglum hired Jim McIntosh and Ashley Granby from Texas…so get ready for another dirty campaign. I am surprised Scyller is already slinging mud. I actually thought she was a positive person. She had me fooled. I am very disappointed in her.
Where does Borglum get the money to hire outside consultants?
The only thing worse than her wooden nickel plan is that video. If it was that or nothing…. Nothing was a better option.
I didn’t realize Borglum was so nasty. I’m not impressed.
Scyllar, if can we talk reality for a moment I would like to give you some respectful advice from an active, voting Republican that happens to be your current constituent. First, you are obviously a very bright and driven person, so you must realize there is no way in hell you will come anywhere close to beating your opponent. Even if it would be inappropriate (and poor strategy) to publicly acknowledge this, the question for you is if want to continue to develop your state-wide reputation of being a political idiot, or pivot and attempt to show yourself as a political statesperson. May I respectfully suggest you team up with advisors that steer you to the latter designation.
Interesting yet you approve of Trump’s dirty politics, narcissistic behavior, lies, and total buffoonery.
I’m also a Borglum constituent and supporter of her in the state legislature. I’m also a Rounds supporter, while he and his colleagues need to get more done, Rounds needs another term. He’s been with Trump, help cut billions in regulations, help ensure our military is funded and our vets have better access to needed services.
He was a popular governor and popular senator because he works hard, so do you. I dont ask you to step aside because you are a threat to Rounds. You have a bright future, this just isnt your moment on this stage.
I’d ditch Jim and Ashley, running a negative campaign right now doesn’t hurt Rounds, it makes you look bad. Also, people out here following politics know the Jim and Asley story, that in itself makes some of us worry about your perception of the moral compass. Focus on the state legislature, save face on this race. You won’t win because more than 60 to 70 percent of Republicans like the job Rounds is doing.
Dont sacrifice your long term prospects by staying in this race. Then quietly move on from Jim so he stays away from South Dakota Republicans. Sincerely consider these comments.
