It would be nice if our South Dakota elected Republican “leaders” would support the rule of law which is much more than Cult leader Trump ever does! Trump could have testified under oath and said all the things that he only proclaims in front of television cameras and microphones. His only priority seems to be his own skin . Republicans might want to ask themselves what they stand for.

Trump was found guilty by the jury. Biden nor the judge found him guilty. He is appealing. Does the rule of law mean nothing to the Republican Party.? Is it ok with them that he paid off a porn star to help him get elected President? These comments by our elected officials are disappointing.

It seems that each major political party has lost their way. The Dems give too much credence to the extreme left. The "normal" Repubs have been overrun by crazies and a cult-like allegiance to a liar and criminal. Our governor, AG and three Congressional "leaders" are not leaders at all because they kowtow to the Maga's and their false god for fear of losing their seats. Have some backbone, gentlemen, and acknowledge that the Emperor Has No Clothes! You are worshiping the worst, most divisive politician in the US in at least 50 years. How absolutely repulsive he is and you are for bowing to him.

In paraphrase of Sister Sledge:

We are family

I got all my sisters with me

We are GOP

Get up, everybody, and sing

How low will the party members stoop in order to not back off their candidate (with whom they are now stuck)? Trying to hijack and misdirect (spin) the conversation away from their candidate having committed adultery, paying her money to cover it up so it wouldn't become public and prevent his election, and FRAUDULENTLY mislabeling the money he paid her as other than what it was. Have I misstated anything so far? Are you really going to contend that any of this did not happen? Were the 12 jurors duped?

Instead of saying Whoa...that was disgusting, but let's own it, the battle cry has become "rigged" and "politically motivated" and "The Democrats and Biden did it. Has Biden be shown to have been in any way directly or indirectly involved? What was "rigged"? Don't just make the accusation; tell us what was "rigged". Tell us the details of what Biden did and when he did it.

I think there are some interesting legal questions that arose during the trial and those will properly be addressed on appeal. In your zeal to back your candidate however, you should not elevate your biased suspicions into unequivocal statements of fact and truth (so as to mislead the public like Trump did) nor should you sacrifice the dignity of the constitutions you swore to uphold for the sake of political advantage.

With former President Trump, the buck never stops with him. It's always "someone else rigged it, or the news is fake, or it's the Judge. Please, you are South Dakotans. Don't be like that. You owe us more than that.

Hope they have their red ties on and blue suits! The republicans must think it is ok to cheat people out of money, screw women, oh I could go on. 34 counts should make our republicans take note. They must all be outlaws. No I don't agree. Give them a box of tissue to cry like babies.

I don't know a single state or federal politician who has not completely sold out in this state. Great faces Great places my ass. I was born and raised here and IDK if I just spent 30 years buying I to the bullshit I was fed all the way through childhood or if the morality of the people in this state has gone completely off the rails. I cannot believe how utterly intolerant, selfish and bigoted people are in broad daylight.

I have zero respect for all my wonderful "Christian" neighbors who somehow can reconcile all.of this with their morals.

They are the reason I quit attending church and have become an atheist.

I don't even like leaving my house anymore because I am the only Democrat in our social circle and I can't sit at a social gathering and just listen to people parrot blatent mistruths.
