Dems nominate 6-time loser for Secretary of State, as old white man complains about white men running the country

@SoDakCampaigns

South Dakota Democrats are keeping up their streak of awful candidates as they place Sioux Falls Democrat Tom Cool on the sacrificial altar for Secretary of State. And in his first quote for the office, Tom has already gotten a gaffe into the papers:

Image of Tom CoolSioux Falls Democrat Tom Cool, a former journalist who ran for state auditor in 2018, will carry the party’s platform to the November ballot in the race for Secretary of State. He’ll go up against Monae Johnson, the GOP candidate who knocked off incumbent Steve Barnett on a campaign that honed in on Republican disatisfaction of the 2020 presidential election.

“They keep whining about election integrity, which we know are their code words for voter suppression,” Cool said when accepting the nomination. “They don’t just want to go along with the Supreme Court and go back to the 1950s, they want to return to the 1850s when it was only white men controlling this country.”

Read it here.

“They want to return to the 1850s when it was only white men controlling this country.” 

Um.. Did Tom bother to check the mirror before he made that statement? If old white man Tom Cool is concerned about white men running the country, then why is he challenging a woman for the office?  That’s the same kind of self-awareness that’s cost him an incredible 6 races for office over the last the last decade.

Stick a fork in that race. He’s done.

  2. Mr. Cool is an automatic loser. I thought the libbies were going to actually try on this race.

  3. Everyone all up in arms over the convention should slow their meltdown until a GOP nominee actually loses.

    1. I just saw a facebook comment from one of the wackadoodles-and-proud-of-it calling one of our candidates a “drunk.” Betty Otten was at the convention wearing a “wackadoodle” button and the candidate in question was unopposed.
      So what is her point?
      These RINOs should be ashamed of themselves but they are too busy trying to torpedo the entire Republican slate of candidates to look in the mirror.

      1. Betty’s son Brad works for Governor Noem. Without Betty there would be no Brad.

        She is allowed to be upset at someone. She doesn’t have to like every Republican. And the person she is mad at doesn’t have to like her.

      2. I wouldn’t call his word salad an apology.

        I also am still waiting for Larry’s apology for that mess and Art’s for badly attempting to sweep it under the rug.

  4. What percent of Republicans in South Dakota elected Monae over Steve and more importantly what percentage of SD Republicans even know who she is?
    Not dissing Monae as she surely could be the real deal.
    Just asking questions as we seem to be going into negative territory with some of our minority convention picks.

    1. Actually that is a good question. However, Monae has been active around the state with GOP women affairs and is known in the Republican Women circles. That is why she beat Barnett. Republican women are a force to reckon with and could carry her over the top without many men really knowing who she is.

      1. The rest of us know her as a conspiracy spewing fruitcake because that’s her public persona.

  5. Didn’t Jim Stalzer school Cool pretty handily a couple of times? What were all of his prior losses, just curious

  6. When is what is left of the South Dakota Democratic Party going to finally realize there is no hope? The brand was permanently damaged years ago. The traditional South Dakota Dems don’t even recognize the national or especially state party anymore and refuse to give it money or vote for their few candidates. They desire another political option in South Dakota.

    1. ” You all reek of Trump. ”

      Sounds like the words of a sore loser flouncing out of a room.

  8. Monae has actually worked in the Sec. of States office. The dems do not even have a decent canidate for any of these state offices. We Rupublicans fight amongst each other because of such a week Democratic party. Politics are nt that fun when the oppostion really is nt a worthy opponent.

    1. Yeah. Barnett’s main strength was general election viability in 2010. Since 2010 all dems have been eviscerated.

  9. Good of Democrats to look at a race featuring the weakest GOP candidate in an open race since John Koskan in 2006 PUC race and go “Eh, this guy has a pulse. He’s our Huckleberry.” A wasted opportunity for SD Dems they’ll be regretting for some time.

    1. Are you talking about Joel Koskan running for state senate? He will be another Kaleb Weis which reflects the further SD Legislature dumbing down in a political enviroment with no competition.

  10. His opponent is an election conspiracy theorist the party wants to put in charge of elections. Come on, Pat.
