Arriving in an envelope mailed from Indianapolis, the SDGOP is sending out fundraising letters to their donor base.
And it might be one of the worst fundraising letters ever, as the former 32-year Democrat chairing the party actually tells Republican donors that he was a 32-year Democrat, and that Summit Carbon outspent him.. even though that was a ballot measure.
And we find that the Republican Party has no money for things such as proofreading:
I think the biggest blunder is where they ask for $1000, $500, $250, etcetera in the body of the letter, but when they got to the bottom, they’d be happy if grandma sent them a $10 check for their birthday. Almost as if when Eschenbaum says the party needs to raise $50,000, they’d be happy to gather $500 in $10 checks.
I suspect that with all the formatting issues, a complete abandonment of grammar, and a rambling semi-coherent mess of a fundraising appeal, this might be another one of those fundraising drives where they end up spending more on the letter than they raise from it.
Candidates, if you’re writing your own fundraising appeal, here’s a few good examples of what NOT to do.
Moving on.
He’d have gotten off cheaper and would’ve had a better product if he’d have had ChatGPT write this. Oh wait data centers are the new carbon pipeline… nevermind
Terribly written. I was bored with the first sentence.
The GOP should have hired my 14-year-old granddaughter. She would have written a concise, clear, grammatically correct appeal. This is embarrassing!
That rambled like a Trump speech. Nothing wrong with that.
Matches the average IQ and reading level of the party these days.
I don’t think the people in charge understand the purpose of the SDGOP: to get Republican candidates elected. Not to make a nice fair booth. Not to go hang out with Trump. The purpose of the party is to get candidates elected. Serious question: what is the SDGOP doing to get Republican candidates elected? They’re not giving the candidates any money. They’re not sending a mailer with the slate. They’re not organizing grassroots volunteers to help with campaigns. So, what are they doing to get candidates elected?
If they can’t say what they’re doing to get candidates elected, then they’re just a social club— not a political party.
absolutely correct. Did they suddenly realize early voting starts in 10 days and they are supposed to be doing something?? And they don’t have the money to do anything?
Not a farthing for the SDGOP.
or a kopeck.
There’s an education divide. The less education, the more likely to be republican. And the lowest level is MAGA, so it’s not so unreasonable.
Par for the course. The Morons are squatting in our political house, and no one is trying to evict them.
Evict them? You voted them in!
Eschenbaum is an imbecile! How could folks have missed that when he wears tee shirts to the capital and no sleeves the rest of the time, (you know to show off his pipes).
The half wits that voted for him likely think he’s just dreamy 🥰
The SDGOP is a joke! Thanks Jimmy!
to Anonymous at 8:09: No, I sure as hell didnt vote them in.
“And you may say to yourself, ‘Well, how did they get there??’l
By not voting for precinct committeeman or committeewoman or running for the position. Every single race on the ballot matters.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why SDGOP continues to treat Johnson, Rounds, and Thune like dirt. Having the US Senate Majority Leader as one of our senators is a huge opportunity for not only SDGOP but Minnehaha, Lincoln, Pennington, and all the other county GOPs to fundraise. We could be having influential Republicans speaking at sold out Lincoln Day Dinners and even Presidential contenders visiting South Dakota.
Party leadership around the state is an absolute joke. Full of self serving, ignorant boobs.
For the life of me, I don’t know why they claim to be Republicans and then go off about their anti-pipeline stance; Republicans are supposed to be in favor of economic development, says so in the platform. They are trying to cripple the ethanol and corn producers, and bragging about it
Then they are opposed to data centers because they want us all to be Amish, or give up all our electronic commerce or something. I remember what South Dakota was like before ethanol and Citibank, and it was DYING. They want us to go back?
We’re already going back. Citi is poised to lay off hundreds more workers, there aren’t enough jobs in the state, housing is stagnant, wages are stagnant, yet they passed a tax shift to renters to subsidize homeowners.
If there aren’t enough jobs invthe state why does it take so long to get any construction or landscaping done?
