Again, while at the local GOP picnic last night, I grabbed some video to share a couple of the speeches the group heard from the declared/potential challenger candidates that are making the rounds at GOP events. The newest possible candidate, Neal Tapio, announced that he’s going to form an exploratory committee for possible entrance into the Republican Congressional race and rematch against current Republican Congressman Dusty Johnson.

I like Dusty but I love Neal !
Neal says the same thing about himself.
Amen to that.
Is there really no one other than Tapio who can challenge Dusty? No one else?
Last thought. Tapio was not good at speaking in this video. If Dusty is going to be challenged then it needs to be by someone articulate and passionate. It also needs to be someone charismatic who is good at public speaking and motivating a crowd.
There was a lot of himming and hawing in his talk.
Check this out.

Unlikely that Neal Tapio, which his lack of a statewide network, is going to beat Dusty unless Trump openly endorses him. If Neal can’t secure a Trump Tweet and open endorsement, he shouldn’t bother running.
