SDGOP in disarray, Tapio mulling run on Howdy Doody Dusty's right flank

Neal Tapio can't beat Howdy Doody Dusty Johnson in a primary fixed against him but if he runs in the general election as an unaffiliated candidate it would not only be revolutionary, he might even win.


Tapio's announcement follows the decision of Black Hills-area legislator, Scyller Borglum who is running in the earth hater US Senate primary to unseat Mike Rounds, one of the least effective members of Congress.

One source with eyes on the field told The Dakota Progressive at least two more people are expected to mount a primary challenge to Johnson.

At his blog, Dakota War College obese Brookings blogger Pat Powers routinely smears principled conservatives who don't bend the knee to the South Dakota Republican Party establishment. Pernicious Pug Powers, who makes a stopped clock look like a well-greased machine, salts his blog comment section with a seemingly infinite variety of aliases that threaten or jeer his political enemies. But now Powers doesn't know whether to shit or go blind. These developments are seen as failures not only of Pat Powers but of the South Dakota Republican Party and its chair Dan Lederman.

Republican US Senate hopeful Scyller Borglum poked insurance saleman Mike Rounds right in the eye in a visit to Watertown: "To make health care more affordable to average Americans, Borglum said there should be greater transparency in insurance and medical costs. 'People need to know what they’re paying for and why,' she said." Watertown Public Opinion
