-30-
Not a lot of other votes to Whip there..:
Is Red Dawn sure she doesn’t just want to be a Republican?
She would be a great asset to the GOP in the long run. Sen. Foster the only Democrat who thinks for herself.
Heinert used to do all her thinking.
re: foster’s party – hmmm she won as a democrat, the logic of switching to gop is flawed.
but logic isn’t a maga strength.
Great news.
sometimes it’s a title – not necessarily a job.
Hahahahahahahaha.
Here’s a zany idea.
Let’s get “my man Mike,” the “naked professor,” and Rick I can’t win a statewide election, or ballot measure Wieland together and flip a coin to see who will run for SF mayor. Might need to put out a SOS for “Hilde” to orchestrate the comeback of the century in SD politics. Let’s get your soldiers out collecting signatures.
Pat, sorry, wrong category.
