I had the pleasure to join the Dakota Town Hall crew on their podcast this week where we discussed (and wildly speculated) what might be happening with the Julie Frye Mueller matter in the South Dakota State Senate, in an episode titled “JFM loses Miss Congeniality”
I joined the hosts Noah Greble, Jake Shoenbeck, and Brad “Murdoc” Jurgensen to talk about what’s going on in the State Senate this week.

Phil’s got 2 strikes against him? Cool

Listening to this, I can understand why J. Schoenbeck lost. Guys, JFM might be loud and she might be a tad crazy, but the hard right conservatives of this party are just as much a part as these “regulars”. The “freedom caucus” shouldn’t be laughed at. We are all on the same side here let’s try working on getting along.
You mean the party should get along with people who call them RINOs? Why is everyone so insistent we be big tent to a subset who is so clearly not?
Pat you were the highlight of the show.
Quote Anonymous – “You mean the party should get along with people who call them RINOs? Why is everyone so insistent we be big tent to a subset who is so clearly not?”
And here is exactly the disconnect within the SDGOP.
First off, what are they doing to be labeled RINOs in the first place? That will take some serious self-examination on their behalf.
Second sentence, if they are so unwilling to allow a subset to be under the “big tent”, then why are they, the RINO’s, under it in the first place? It’s in the description itself. If the RINO’s are uncomfortable in the GOP, there is a party already in place that more directly corresponds with their beliefs and intents.
So, they should work with a name calling, angry minority of South Dakotan republican voters or leave the party? How about no? We’ll continue to represent the people and you all can scream at clouds and chemtrails and 5G and stolen elections.
