Rapid City barker, Mike Sanborn began The Decorum Forum in 2009 which enjoyed a significant following for several years. Other local notables, Bill Fleming, a Democrat and Bob Newland, a Libertarian have been authors there. Sanborn is reportedly a member of the South Dakota Republican NAZI Party and is responsible for some of the most sexist and misogynistic Deadwood and Sturgis Rally billboards littering I-90. A perennial loser, Sanborn was destroyed in Rapid City's 2015 Ward 3 runoff election that kept incumbent Jerry Wright on the City Council.
Today, Sanborn trolls South Dakota blogs as "grudznick" and writes an occasional column for the Spearditch-based Black Hills Pioneer but like Pat Powers' Faceberg page Sanborn's FB site is plastered with his own image — a tell of deep insecurity.
It’s difficult to avoid Toby Doeden. Based on his website, Facebook posts, YouTube videos and podcasts, he’s promising to reduce and eventually eliminate property taxes, cut wasteful spending in Pierre, eliminate wokeness and DEI, uphold the Constitution and end government corruption in South Dakota — which he says is the most corrupt state in the union. He’s also promising to deport illegal aliens, prevent indoctrination in schools and prioritize public safety. This would indicate that the state is quite a mess — and he’s just the Republican to tidy things up. The primary is June 2, 2026. Take cover. Shots have been fired.

Bob Newland: "I’m going to Pierre to tip it upside down, dump out the trash and actually move South Dakota forward.” So says Toby.
Despite my hopes, I don’t think this is gonna happen. No matter who gets elected guvner. Why? Because there’s an awful lotta trash in the House and Senate. The governor has little power to throw any of it out. And, judging by Toby's ads, he actually contemplates creating more trash.
