While South Dakota Democrats are making their focus claiming the GOP candidates are just like Donald Trump because they are going to vote for him, the truth is much farther off. If you noticed this AM, the Argus Leader took a break in political coverage from fawning over Rick Weiland, and noted that the Republican candidates […]
I have some very fond memories of county fairs. 4-H exhibits, the midway, deep fried anything and everything on a stick, the commercial exhibits, and politics. This year is busy year for politics as this is a presidential election year, and there are a number of ballot issues. The Minnehaha County GOP had booth in […]
In regards to politicians supporting or moving away from Donald Trump over the outrageous things he says, Tom Lawrence spends some time today drawing a comparison between the South Dakota Congressional Campaign of 2006, and the Trump Campaign of 2016. Politics can be cold. A candidate perceived to be in a death spiral can find […]
Like a raging case of bedbugs you can’t eradicate, no matter how many chemicals the exterminator ladles on, the Annette Bosworth family is back in the news (God help us). This time, it’s because one of their kids made an anti-Hillary Clinton app, and they went to Rush Limbaugh to get attention. RUSH: Why did […]

The Washington Post is profiling South Dakota’s senior US Senator John Thune today, as they discuss where he’s likely to land in the Senate’s hierarchy in the post-November election Senate: South Dakota Sen. John Thune, 55, will be reelected overwhelmingly in November, no matter what happens to Donald Trump or in the fight for Senate […]
State Representative Isaac Latterell is taking hits from both the right and the left over his actions at the Republican National Convention which brought embarrassment to the Republican delegates attending the National Convention. From Greg Belfrage: I’ve had both criticism and praise for Donald Trump through-out the campaign, but he was definitely not my choice […]
The Argus has a story up this AM about Republican State Representative Isaac Latterell drawing attention to himself during the voting at the Republican National Convention by gesturing while the delegation was casting their ballot in the roll of states: In a face palm of protest, one South Dakota Republican said with his body language […]
While the most recent Republican president and the last two nominees are taking a pass on attending convention, we apparently get Scott Baio addressing the Republican National Convention instead. After Scott Baio publicly endorsed Donald Trump earlier this year, it appears as though the presumptive GOP presidential nominee has hand-picked the “Happy Days” actor to speak at […]
