Is Toby Doeden kidding?
A text invite to take a poll went out this evening, mainly with several push poll/slanted messages against Amendment H. But included in those messages was this dead giveaway of the text-invite poll’s origin.
Seriously? Aside from the fact that the poll invite comes as a text message with a link much like one would be invited to send money to a Nigerian prince, the fact that it includes Toby at all tells you who is asking.
Absolutely no one is polling his name after his lightning quick exit from his Congressional exploration earlier this year. Not to mention his self-indulgent rally that was protested by the NAACP.
I don’t know if he thinks he’s going give it another go on the strength of the nazi rally vote coming in for him, but in 2026 actual Republicans won’t have the time of day for that clown. There ain’t no way he could win dog catcher, much less run for statewide office.
Stay tuned. And don’t click on strange text messages.
He must think he has the votes in Aberdeen sewn up and is going after the votes in Redfield with his recent purchase of the car dealership.
This Mr. Doeden fellow, known by so very few if any in the Black Hills of South Dakota, sure seems a self promoter of Bosworthian proportions. His ending will be similar, no doubt.
Lol. Priceless
Ha! so right. Feels like a Bosworth candidacy. I suppose he’s eyeballing an open seat in 2026 and trying to get out front. It won’t turn out well.
He looks like a tick that’s about to pop. He must be on some serious roids and a steady diet of Cinnabon.
He should probably stop eating all that red dye and boycott Kellog.
How pathetically insecure do you have to be, pay money to send out a survey to find out if people like you or not?
Not running for an office.
Not seeking any kind of actual public service or public good.
You just need to check and see if you have people who actually like you in the world.
That’s a special kind of pitiful.
Then again this is the same guy who made a series of YouTube videos pretty much entitled “I’m Toby Doeden and here’s why I’m an important good guy”
Hey Toby, if you have to tell me you are…you’re not.
Lol. That is nothing but the truth
Travis whatever his name mayor of Aberdeen I bet produced those videos. He, Toby, Dennert and the other libertarian fringe types all work together up there in Aberdeen.
They’re a special cesspool, that’s for sure. They’ll do anything to help out other fringe types and their church buddies, nobody else though.
Money to burn.
A self made millionaire with money to burn and a don’t give a crap attitude. Yeah that doesn’t appeal to voters.
Paul Tenhaken and Mike Huether are my dark horse picks for governor.
How he made that money is another story.
“What is your opinion of Toby Doeden?”
“Somewhat Nazi”
This wins the day. Well done.
Imagine a stereotypical used car lot that a customer would rather go get their teeth pulled without novocaine than deal with some slimy used car salesman that will say and claim anything to make a sale. Enough said.
A bit late in the election cycle to be polling isn’t it? What is he running for? Or from?
Why does this have to be the modern republican party? Can’t the sane ones take it back and let the crazies start their own? I think now more than ever, there is a demand for fiscal conservationism and limited government. Maybe the sane people from both sides of the party need to start their own. We created a mess by tying our taxes (through corporate welfare) to the stock market, which is the lifeblood of retirement. We can’t cut taxes without an extreme impact on the stock market, which results in us being unable to retire. At least the rich can get richer and buy their yachts and multiple mansions.
The same people aren’t interested in taking back the Republican Party. Everyone I’ve talked to says the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
Typo — I meant sane, not same.
we saw it coming, the state central committee didn’t want to make the necessary changes to the bylaws, while a bunch of crazies figured out that by taking over vacant precinct committee positions, they could hijack the state conventions, and then vote out the incumbents on their county executive boards.
Now they are getting involved in primaries, which has lead to the push for open primaries. Like that’s going to do any good, if the top two in a primary are both republicans, they will throw all their support and money to the craziest one in the general. The average voters, having no idea what is really going on, will see ads from their county parties endorsing one republican over another in the general election.
Who was behind this in NE South Dakota? Who was involved?
Dave Roetman. Was butt-hurt at losing his position in Minnehaha and went on a revenge binge.
Led by Drew Dennert, Al Novstrup, and Rich Hilgaman
In the west it is Tom Brunner. For much the same reason as Roetman. Lost his House seat and decided to burn it down and make everyone pay.
Grudz is spot on that Toby Doeden is channeling the Annette Bosworth strategy in a way with these crazies commenting from all over the US. Was the polling in part to see if he has attracted more NAZIs to move to South Dakota, come out of the closet here in SD, recruit and groom more NAZIs. He does seem like the groomer type.
Hey Toby, once you realize the only people that like you are your daughter who is just like you, you wife bc she has to(she’s got no other option) and your employees(most of them higher ups in your company) because you pay them. You aren’t even liked in your own hometown of Groton. I hope this spineless weasel runs for governor in 2026 and the big boys can tear him down to size and probably crumble his empire.
Draft Doeden/Pischke for Governor 2026
Could this poll have been targeting potential voters in the January Chairmanship election?
good point. He thinks if he’s the party chairman he will have power and prestige
Hahaha
LOL i got one. I participated. Rated him as a 1
Looks like District 1 Republicans FB page is another Toby Doeden glorification page. Videos of Doeden, posts and attacks on their unopposed sitting state senator.
It is only a matter of time before this legend in his own mind Toby Doeden dedicates a statue to himself in Aberdeen and he will promote it in local media to the hilt.
It would probably be concrete located on a Doeden owned property probably in front of Legends Video Lottery Casino on 6th Ave to be durable enough to withstand chronic vandalism. Easy enough to repaint and clean often.
If you know this knucklehead you know he would do this.
