All three of SD congresspersons have multiple F ratings. They are part of the problem not part of the solution.

And the governor... pathetic.

Based on? I’m not disagreeing at all, just curious as the state is facing a forty plus thousand person increase in medicaid expansion.

Another Mittwit-style demagogue.
Pressler, a moderate Republican who served three terms in the Senate before losing his seat to Democrat Tim Johnson in 1997, said he believes voting for Clinton is the “responsible thing to do.” He said he feels disenfranchised by Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, and modern-day congressional Republicans who have opposed efforts to expand background checks for gun sales. “We need to go the route of more gun control as a result of Orlando and all the other shootings that have occurred,” Pressler said. “But it’s almost as though Republicans are saying gun control shouldn’t be part of the conversation at all." But gun control isn’t the only reason why Pressler is ready to join “Republicans for Clinton” — he’s also concerned about Trump’s rhetoric on Muslims. “This election is starting to sound like the German elections in [1933],” Pressler said. “This is a very dangerous national conversation we’re slipping into.” Pressler, a Mormon Sunday school teacher, said he understands all too well the dangers of signaling out a particular religious group. In 1838, Missouri Gov. Lilburn Boggs ordered Mormons to be killed, which forced many to leave the state before eventually resettling in Salt Lake City, Utah. Trump makes “Mormons very nervous,” Pressler said.

So, was Ezra Taft Benson one of the “good guys”?
