1. Governor Noem’s team has been playing small ball, and now the bases are chucked.

   Nerds will be peeping the demographics.

   If South Dakota Republicans who didn’t stand with Trump on 1/6/2021 are now in support of this event .. would that be considered “groveling back”?

   Grifters are going to be out in full force, surfing the man’s wake.

   1. I guess we won’t be counting on you to buy a ticket.

      1. Grudznick could have his grandaugter stop by Spearditch and pick up Mr. Dale and drop him off so he could play his guitar for entrance money. Stop the Steal/Criminal defense grift rally for Trump

   2. regarding “republicans who didn’t stand with trump on 1/6/2021 now supporting him” – if i find such a republican somewhere who was bothered by trump on 1/6 but is now sucking up to him, i will report their existence to you, and report their newly missing spine to the lost and found desk. why does the elephant guard its tusk? why does the muskrat guard its musk?

      1. my point: most gop in the state were supportive of trump that day, so the few loathers with me out here probably are just not planning to attend.

2. He was saved by the electoral college in 2016 but he lost the popular vote. Then the Republican party was destroyed in the 2018 elections. He lost 2020 by seven million votes. And directly because of him, Republicans greatly underperformed in 2022.

   “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein.

   1. he fairly won the 2016 vote because the popular vote is irrelevant. democrats greatly underperformed in key states in 2016, and they rectified the problem in 2020. trump brought in the same general number of votes both years, and dems brought their game for a huge vote increase in 2020.

3. He was elected by the electoral college in 2016.

   Fixed it for you. Enough said.

4. One has to wonder how much Rapid City will incur in costs for security, etc. for this clown show. If they don’t get reimbursed upfront (not holding out much hope) they will likely end up eating their costs.

   1. Or how much the city makes on increased sales tax revenues, free public exposure or just general attention to our area.

   2. I can’t recall if you were this concerned when Hillary visited SD during her campaign and had a whopping 200 people show up to see her.

      1. trump will get thousands from this region.

5. I will predict a standing room only crowd with a large contingent in the parking lot (they should be prepared to set up speakers outdoors). His address will be the same as he has given since 2015, but with less emphasis, and emotion. He’s run out of gas.

6. Tell me, what did he do for SD when he was President?

   1. He uhhh…..let us ignore the environmental impacts and chances of wildfires and allowed fireworks at Mt Rushmore? That totally makes up for the lying, incompetence, and general buffoonery that surrounded his tenure right?

      1. “lying, incompetence, and general buffoonery that surrounded his tenure”

         No, no, no…this post is about President Trump, not mumblin-stumblin soon to visit his son in prison Bidumbass.

         1. Joe Biden should NOT be running for President. He isn’t physically capable of doing the job today, much less five years from now. And Trump? As I wrote the other day, more than ten of his own top appointees have publicly stated that he is unfit for office.

            I cannot believe that these two may be our choices… again… in 2024. A third party might actually have a shot this time, with significant financial backing.

         2. A beautiful whataboutism. We’re taking about Trump, not Biden.

      He did stuff for South Dakotans like increase the standard deduction on our federal income taxes. Since over 87% of tax filers take the standard deduction, so that’s a lot of us. Unfortunately, a lot of people who take the standard deduction don’t know they take it; they enter all their mortgage interest, state and local taxes, charitable donations, etc into a turbotax program, so they think they are filing an itemized return. But the program crunches the numbers and spits out the standard deduction because that comes up with a lower tax bill. What I think is funny is that the same people who claim “the rich” got a tax break are the ones who think they are filing itemized returns but aren’t. “The rich” got clobbered because they could no longer deduct all their state and local taxes.

      He also mobilized the effort to get the Covid vaccines out in record time. From when the first infections were identified in the state of Washington January 18, 2020, to when FedEX shipped the first doses of vaccine to the health departments of all 50 states on December 14, 2020, nothing like that had ever been accomplished in such a short period of time. It is really unfortunate that such a remarkable achievement was overshadowed by mass hysteria and misinformation.
      (If diptheria serum had been delivered to Nome in 2020 instead of 1925, by the time Balto led his team into town, there would have been protestors in the street claiming the serum contained graphene and nano-transmitters, would make spoons stick to your neck, and would cause sterility.)

      And then there’s some business about getting better foreign trade deals for farmers, getting other countries to lift the tariffs they were imposing on American agricultural products. I don’t have the details on that.

      Finally, Trump let the governors govern.

7. I believe that Haley, Scott, Desantis and others have a good chance to triumph over Biden. Although Desantis may be alienating too many independents, and his campaign skills are weak. He still would have a shot.

   Trump… doubtful. If the economy takes a hit, it could happen. Even then, I’d bet he loses the popular vote… for the third time.

   1. desantiis is a new variety of ted cruz. he has his enthusiastic fans and that’s about it, he can’t bridge the gap to the whole country.

8. All things being equal I prefer a candidate not under indictment.
