PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Longtime South Dakota Republican voter Jim Thompson is ready to leave the GOP, hoping that an exodus of Donald Trump supporters like him will punish the state’s preeminent politician, Sen. John Thune, for defying Trump.

He needs a fire lit under his ass. He's a disappointment but he did not vote like Liz Cheney did. SD voters will have to hold their nose and re-elect him. There's no one else and Noem won't do it. It sounds as if both SD senators + the house rep need to grow a pair which will not happen. No bench to speak of.

The article is more of a hit piece on Trump and aims to divide the party into 2 separate ones.

Odd irony is that he was elected to get rid of the Democrat snake Tom Daschle.

The Dems are actively rigging the game further with mail-in voting. So, really, what do we have to lose? Might be some pain at first, but if we keep doing what we’ve done, we’ll get what we always got.

That's what the AP wants you to do.

Keep in mind that Trump has already denounced 3rd-party talks and spoke to McCarthy.

With no bench we get another Tom Daschle. I sent him $50 to defeat tiny Tom back in ‘04-money well spent. It’s been 18 years and Thune is now just like the rest of them. There’s no term limits and he’ll win the office without any outside help. Use your heads.

The GOP has been importing a permanent Democrats majority for 30 years. Their agenda is the opposite of MAGA.
Their agenda is to Make America into North Mexico, on it’s way to becoming North Venezuela.

I am not voting for that any more.

“SD voters will have to hold their nose and re-elect him”

When did voting start to matter?

If the Gangster State wants him back he’ll have the votes.

By whatever means necessary.

I’m not saying hold your nose and vote for them. I’m saying this is pys-ops to get conservatives to vote 3rd party.

About f* king time. The entire state government and everyone in SD should be asking for his resignation. He did absolutely nothing to help the President. And was usually standing there, moron that he is, with McConnell. Cornyn Rubio and the rest Doug what they could to get in the way.

So usher them out of the GOP. The Republican Party is mostly Trump's now. 2021 and 2022 are the years to make it entirely Trump's.

If it was mostly Trump’s they would not have colluded with Democrats to cheat him out of office.

In fact, the Democrats could not have done it without the help of the GOP.
