Minnehaha County GOP moving to clean up their own mess?

@SoDakCampaigns

Hearing some interesting information this afternoon.

While it isn’t posted to facebook or their website, I’m hearing that the Minnehaha County Republican Central Committee is meeting tomorrow, and there are those who are (allegedly) going to bring a vote of no confidence against the chair and secretary.  The chair being everyone’s favorite former attorney-at-law R. Shawn Tornow. (yes, that was sarcasm)

Why? I’m being told that the Minnehaha GOP’s exec board has completely split into two factions.  I mean, I can’t imagine why they would be split after a banger of a yard sale.

I mean, what are they looking for in a chair? Competence? Standing with the community? The ability to raise money? Heaven forbid.

Stay tuned for more. This could get pretty good.

    1. i prefer to think its a sudden remembrance by some of how henny penny used to make the bread that no one has now.

  4. A lot of people are very upset that the Chair and Secretary were caught recording a confidential SDGOP central committee meeting. That’s part of the reason that the no confidence vote is against those two specifically.

  5. I don’t think it has come together as Mr. Tornow expected and that’s not all his fault. He has made some good changes to the way the party and meetings operate, and I honestly don’t think he has his heart in it and will probably step aside willingly. Hopefully the county GOP can move forward stronger than ever!

    1. He’s a hypocrite. He criticizes chairs who’ve come before him for not being transparent, but he doesn’t email financial statements to the central committee and his agendas literally say (after the opening basics):

      Old business
      New business
      Adjourn

      No subpoints…. No details. If an “establishment” chair did that, he’d be yelling from the rafters! Complete hypocrite.

  6. Tornow? He was fired from the AG office 30 years ago, with cause. 15 years later he was scalded in a PUBLISHED OPINION by the supreme court for lying to his client, the city commissioner.

    Any questions?

    Tornow. How the plan to open up the convention to thousands, was converted into how the kookaberries, election deniers, misfits, and liars took over the party.

    It was Mickelson’s plan to build the big tent. Now it is the plan to empower the DISGRUNTLED OUTSIDERS.

    The lemmings are in front. We faithful water carrrying GOP faithful are doomed.

    1. Instead of whining, you establishment folks need to accept that you’re the minority in the party. Better yet, you should lend a hand. Us election deniers (etc) are trying to save the country. You’re apparently content to watch it burn.

      2. How about you election deniers accept that you’re charlatans, liars, and killing the GOP by alienating the swing voters that make or break elections?

        1. Better to lose elections than win with uniparty folks like Dusty, Thune, and Rounds. All they do is sell us out.

          1. That’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. “Better to lose than win.” Good job, genius.

      3. this is a lame variation of the democrats’ “you always vote against your own interests” speech lol

          1. i’m not liz but i recommend her great book “oath and honor” to every traitor who tells me what a traitor she is.

  8. Please let 2024 be the year that election deniers, freedumb carpetbaggers, and wackadoodles be run out of state politics. National cleaning out would be great too, but that’s a bridge too far still.

    4. Freedumb carpetbaggers? I’d add freedumb carpet bombers as they drive reasonable and sane party volunteers, voters and donors away. Others and myself have witnessed repeatedly they claim to be Constitutional Conservatives, Constitutional and Libertarian Party RINOS but when in party unit leadership positions they violate the constitution of their party units, campaign finance rules, have all kinds of ethical issues and support actions that violate our US Constitution. It’s kinda like Trump holding the Bible upside down and when asked what his favorite bible verse is he responds all of them.

  9. The newly migrated to South Dakota freedumb seekers along with cuckoo for cocoa puffs native born SD election deniers, conspiracy enthusiasts, anti-vaxxer, anti-mask and Lord knows what else are telling the established SDGOPers some of which are party workhorses to shut up and get in line.

    There may be hope for a non fringe political opposition party in South Dakota after all.
    South Dakota Democrats?

    Any other potential party’s that could emerge?

    No Labels has Pro-Trump big donors and operatives so that is a no go.

  10. This Anonymous person sure has a lot of differing opinions. 🤔
    Take the mask off and speak your truth as you believe it to be.
    Hiding your identity in public discussions is lacking respect for yourself and others.
    I myself take all Anonymous comments as entertainment value only.

    1. The joys of anonymous posting is that one (in theory) debate the ideas presented, and not rest on the laurels of one’s name to carry the day. Plus it’s the internet, no one is really who they say.
