Thune tells KOTA-TV he’s running, and raising money

1. Not to nitpick, but he didn’t actually say that he’s running again.

2. I think it’s fantastic .. Thune should run.

   Lots of glad handing people who voted for Trump .. it’s stunning.

   Did anybody ask him what he’s going to do on election reform, and how his actions this past election cycle were secretly to protect the republic?

   Because I see Thune’s actions directly connected to a border crisis, a DC lock down, and unrest among our ranks.

   I saw him vote against Democracy. I saw him whip democracy in front of the entire country.

   I didn’t forget, and I think that SD Trump voters didn’t, either.

   But if I were Thune’s campaign manager right now, I would be adding extra fluoride to the water to try to help people forget how I lacked courage at the most important moment in our nation’s modern history.

   To me, it’s really that big of a deal.

   We need people enlisting who are willing to fight (politically).

   Ladder climbers need not apply right now?

   But I could be wrong.

   I’m monitoring Thune’s communications and hoping that I’m just wrong, and that it’s not just another case of a weak man caving to corruption.

   Maybe Thune is not weak, wealthy, and morally bankrupt.

   Please, educate me.

   But please, do not reeducate me.

   That is all.

   1. Hubbel/Dale 2022

   2. John, for once you nailed it.

3. Somebody should educate Dale, that’s for sure.

   1. Who wants to teach someone who actively fights against common sense and basic logic? Hard pass.

4. Glad to hear. I’ve know John for 25 years and he’s one of the most decent people out there.

   1. The only reason Thune is running again is because he sees opportunity to snatch the Senate Majority Leader’s position. Hints of McConnell’s retirement are surfacing.
      Once upon a time John Thune was a strong leader for South Dakota. His job is to represent South Dakota in DC, not represent DC in South Dakota.

   2. In comparison, Carter was a decent man, but a terrible President.

5. John has been a great senator for our state. A tried and true South Dakota kid. Look forward to helping him with his solid win

6. I agree Lee knowing JT was one of the first in Congress pushing for a balanced budget amendment which only failed by a couple votes when he was in the US House.
   IE: ((Trump had a great philosophical message with a school yard bully delivery. His first debate treating Biden with total disrespect killed him. JT knew it and We all knew it too. ))
   The South Dakota Legislature added to the balanced budget mandate philosophy with the passage of HJR 5003 requiring a 3/5 vote needed to increase taxes in any IM going to a vote of the people this Spring. (For God’s sake please vote Yes on this!)
   SD takes $340,000 out of our local communities every single day of the year by way of lottery gambling. Does anyone wonder why Governments continue to grow and grow???
   I’ll vote for John Thune.

7. It’s amusing to see all the establishment types line up to support the ultimate establishment candidate, John Thune.

   If Daschle was “a DC resident,” Thune is its mayor.

   But here’s the dirty little secret that’s now reached the point of being undeniable — the establishment is broken. Corrupted. In every nook and cranny, John Thune included.

8. “The establishment is broken. Corrupted” you say.

   Well, you know politicians are corrupt when they’re receiving pardons. Or when they are dishing them out to their friends.

   But perhaps your definition of corruption is anyone who does not kiss Donald Trump’s ring. (see above)

   1. Pardons Granted

      George HW Bush 77
      George W Bush 200
      Donald Trump 237
      Ronald Reagan 406
      Bill Clinton 459
      Barack Obama 1927

      1. I said “friends”. He pardoned his buddies. The sleazeballs.

         Nobody pardoned like Trump did. Nobody.

         The folks who really deserved it? Nope.
