    1. Marty “Profiles in Courage” Jackley:

      “As with most South Dakotans, I clearly do not approve of Mr. Trump’s highly inappropriate statements,” Jackley said in an email Tuesday responding to a reporter’s questions.

      “I am voting for the Republican nominee because I fundamentally disagree with both President Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton on most major issues including our economy, Supreme Court nominations, and the importance of our state and individual rights and freedoms,” Jackley continued.

      “I am honored to be one of South Dakota’s three electoral votes, and I intend to cast my vote for the Republican nominee as I was elected to do and consistent with our State law and the US Constitution.”

  2. Big deal. Many of us didn’t support him in the primary. The important thing is that he’s our President and she has since he became the POTUS.

    1. “President Trump is our moral leader and need to pledge loyalty to him.”

      Baahahahahaha!

  5. DESPERATE and a liar. Petty…sad Marty can’t run on his ideals and goals and has to resort to attacking his opponent. SAD SAD SAD.

    1. Marty is the embodiment of everything wrong with SD politics. Watching him lose Tuesday night will be almost as fun as watching Hillary lose in 2016. Almost 🙂

  6. Where/ when did Marty endorse The Donald?

    I better get some popcorn this could take a while…

    1. Well, there was “the handshake”, awkward-appearing as was the photo of the event.

      1. Well, the akward handshake was in the oval office, so yeah, it was a little late to announce support for Mr. Trump.

        Last clip says it all, not her candidate in the PRIMARY. That’s why it was such an upset, other than the voters NO ONE supported him!

        This ad is not only a swing and a miss, but a wild swing and a miss where the batter throws the bat, falls over and loses his helmet.

  7. Is Kelsey Grammar somewhere in South Dakota along the trail travelled by Marty over these last few days ? I am anxiously awaiting the ad featuring Kelsey Grammer’s endorsement.

  8. This is a lame attack and I’m not sure it won’t backfire. Sure Trump has a high approval rating in SD now, but lots and lots of Republicans started out very skeptical of him as a candidate. When he first announced everyone thought he was a joke. No one is going to hold it against Noem that she once felt the same way that almost all of them did.

    1. The same way Marty did. Marty would have dumped Trump had anyone in the media cared to ask him.

    2. I am in that group that thought Trump’s candidacy was a joke. Of the people running, I thought Trump was about #8 on the most desirable. When the smoke cleared, it turned out he was the best choice to defeat Hillary Clinton. And now that he is President, I have to say I support his actions about 80% of the time. It turns out he is crazy like a fox. I cannot hold Noem’s lukewarm support of him against her in this instance.

  9. Heidelberger is saying May 4, 2016 Noem endorsed Trump

    Marty–he couldn’t find anything…challenge is to Marty staffers…when was it if ever and then let us know …and go!

  10. Oct.10, 2016 Kristi publicly stated she stood behind Trump, even though she didn’t approve of what he said. The day that Thune and Daugaard kicked him to the curb. She’s solid.

  11. I kept asking myself if the quotes were in context or not…

    As I remember it few politicians in SD really embraced Trump before the election.

  12. When Kristi was on the South Lawn of the White House with President Trump and Congressional Republicans, celebrating the passage of the tax reform bill, President Trump explicitly said Kristi’s name and said they were “warriors together.”

    And Marty got a 5 minute photo op in the Oval with 49 other AGs so I guess that’s cool?

    1. 5 mins is a generous estimate. I would guess 30 seconds…based on that awkward photo of Marty and the President, it looked like he was being rushed out of the way and Marty wanted to take his arm with him.

  13. I see this as an unforced error on Jackley’s part. I don’t need to see why I should not vote for the other person; I want to see why I should vote for the candidate.

  15. This is just another sign that Jackley’s team doesn’t know how to go negative. First, attacking Kristi with “ride, shoot, and balance, too” was just short-sighted. Now this, so easily dismissed. For those in the Jackley office, you gotta do better than this.

    1. They also don’t know how to cross compare their voting list with the list of people who voted early or requested absentee ballots. I voted early the day after early voting opened up. I still get mailers from Marty’s campaign attacking Noem. I wonder how much money Marty’s campaign is wasting on chasing votes from those who already voted…is that the type of person we want governing the state of South Dakota?

      1. Is Krist’s teami spending the money to cross-compare people who voted early?

        Is her team really that stupid to lose time to get mailings out to save a few cents, especially lose a day and the list is obsolete again?

        Using that logic, one should do mailings after early voting starts. Are all Kristi supporters this dumb?
