I do notice there’s no democrats so far this week.

No Democrats have filed for State Senate so far, and only three in the House.

Looking like a good year for the GOP.

    1. Ugh. That was one of the most trite, wrongheaded little jabs I’ve read in a while. Say something original.

  2. Dumping on the Dems is a weird fetish of this site. Kinda like a senior in college dunking on a sophomore in high school. The absence or non existence of a Democratic Party is sad but obvious in this state for years. Easy flex for the GOP on that issue. But weird is the civil war within the GOP in the state. Is it really one party anymore? Would Janklow or Mickleson even recognize half of the “republicans” in this state? How does the the party reconcile Reagan, Thune and Rounds with the Trump acolytes and Noem? Would one hand of the GOP even recognize the other? I think not.
