You know you’re dealing with Democrats when they know they have a problem. They can identify it. They can call for correcting it. And they still manage to screw that up:
If you’re going to stage a coup, and you tell everyone you’re going to stage a coup, you better succeed.
This Saturday’s annual South Dakota Democratic Party’s McGovern Day in Sioux Falls
could instead turn into The Night of Long Knives. Ok, maybe more accurately, The Night of Long Butter Knives. These are Democrats, after all.
and..
The goal of all this is to get rid of current chair Ann Tornberg. As I have noted in the past, her regime has seen dropping party registrations and fewer and fewer Democratic state legislators and NO Democratic statewide elected officials. It has been an unmitigated disaster for us Democrats.
and..
If the Night of Long Butter Knives actually occurs, it could put the state party in a better position. God knows we can’t do any worse, could we? But as is often the case for South Dakota Democrats, just when you thought it wasn’t possible to go any lower, we sink deeper into the prairie gumbo because we will have no chair and no plan and just a bunch of ticked off Democrats.
Any wonder why they can’t win an election to save their lives? They know they have a chair who has driven the party into the ground. But, they’re not sure they want to, and no one wants to take the wheel.
One possible reason the McGoverns Day Dinner is closed to the press may be because of low attendance with disgusted Democrats leaving in protest after whatever side seizes power. Will it be the Hard Left/Antifa or the sensible and reasonable moderates that get jettisoned? Will the state party be left to chaos and total collapse?
What was Tornberg thinking inviting a racist, anti-semite like Keith Ellison to speak at their annual fundraiser? Well, if she loses the chair election at least her and Keith will have something in common.
