Hot off the press.. Apparently 4% Toby Doeden may have hired people to help him run for Governor, at least, according to one kid identifying himself as “Grant Santos.” Young Mr. Santos claims he’s working for the Doeden campaign, and is now sending out text messages to legislators to ask them to talk with them about who they would be supporting for Governor.
Interesting. If he’s working for Toby, young Mr. Santos may want to consider changing his profile picture where he’s proudly standing side by side with Governor Rhoden:
And really.. From California?
We already need to get rid of “California” Carley. Someone should tell Toby not to put any more California into our South Dakota political races!
Entry level staffers texting, not calling, for endorsements because the candidate himself can’t?
A first class operation!
Yeah! Delegation is moz def not a good executive quality, and everybody knows in a chess game you never send in pawns first .. you get the king right out front and fighting all the battles himself. 😀
You married John? Did you propose yourself, or send your cousin to do it for you?
Interns fetch coffee and knock on doors, they don’t send late-night “you up?” texts asking for endorsements for the highest office in the state. That responsibility falls squarely on the candidate.
In this case, the candidate can’t stomach rejection. Pair that with the fact that many of the people he once backed are now lining up behind his opponent, and what do you get? An entry level staffer doing the job he should be doing himself.
Mr. Dale, are you still a witch?
Young Santos did work at KFC. So he’s got that going for him, which is nice.
*bringing jiffy pop pan closer to dumpster**mm hearing it sizzle mmmmm**getting me some tinfoil hat popcorn for showtime**
He also hired a guy from Florida named Matt to be his campaign manager.
Toby clearly values South Dakotans. *eye roll*
Matt from Florida has a colorful past. He will fit right in with Toby Doeden.
What do you mean?
Considering his many grammar mistakes, the California educational system appears to be as ineffective as Toby’s candidacy.
Will Toby end up paying or enticing attendees to show up for his campaign kick off with a free meal again with a cash bar? Sign up for door prizes? $$$$ Giveaway if you attend borrowing from the sleezy side of the car business?
Hope this intern realizes this association could limit future opportunities in the political arena.
Actually the announcement for the announcement is asking for RSVP’s for food, so yep, They’re bribing people with a meal.
He’s giving away another lawn mower, bought with all his PPP fortune.
Such a man of the people; returning their hard earned tax dollars, that he willingly and enthusiasticly took, hand out, open, hand over fist.
What an outstanding “conservaitve”
Team Toby coming with the A team. First strategy meeting: “Let’s have the new staffer text legislators to see if they’re with us.” Ugh. Train wreck incoming.
Grant is a really nice kid. Good hire by team Toby
Ha! Read the room, doofus.
He’ll be your governor in about a year and a half
#NeverDoedenSouthDakotan
Call your sponsor and tell them you’re off the wagon.
Seeing all this Anonymous horse pucky is like watching a schizophrenic person have an intense debate with himself.
John Dale calling others schizophrenic. Peak irony. How’s that 5G, weirdo?
Blaming Calif educators is quite a reach … apparently his “studies at SDSU” have not included much for remediation.
This is going to be the most interesting race for a very long time. I have a feeling there will be some blood on the ground (speaking figuratively) when it’s over.
Probably the most exciting once since the ‘86 primary (Mickelson v. Hansen II v. Roberts v. Kundert).
I agree.
We are in good hands.
Says the Allstate customer.
Mr. Dale did you get a bus ticket round trip from Spearfish to Aberdeen sent to you by Mr. Doeden including paid lodging at Wylie Park’s camping cabin Navy Style barracks for the campaign kickoff? Mr Doeden is very desperate to fill the Wylie Park Historic Pavilion since not many locals will attend. He is bringing them in from across the state. He needs you!
I Like Grant
Yeah cause attacking fellow republicans is in South Dakota’s best interest
If the young man really was an intern in the House, its funny that he’s not working for the Hanson/Lemmings campaign. You’d think he’d want to work with leadership he’s worked under already when the candidates are so similar. Be interesting to see if other people who’ve worked with them do the same. Very Telling.
It’s not telling. Toby has money to pay people. It’s that simple.
I am praying that God will talk to Toby again and explain “when I told you it was time for you to serve South Dakota, I was talking about the hospitality business”
Except Toby’s history of posting not many would be welcome except for the White Afrikaner refugees that the Trump administration prioritized. They would love Toby Doeden!
ok, so maybe God wanted him to go into the waste management business.
Toby Doeden will probably bring in paid actors from outside the state to fill the Pavilion or it is going to be really embarrassing for him. The press will be there.
