Back again! Former Sen. Erin Tobin, District 4 Sen. Stephanie Sauder, and Dakota War College’s Pat Powers jump into the fight over South Dakota’s data center future, from AI, local control, and looming legislative battles to whether moratorium politics will survive another session. Then the Watertown forum takes center stage after Neil Tapio bows out just hours before it starts, setting off a debate over moderators, tough questions, campaign strategy, and whether avoiding the room is ever the smarter political move.
Plus, the Minnehaha County GOP rolls out a general election loyalty questionnaire, Jim Eschenbaum wants another term running the state party, and the crew wonders how Republicans rebuild donors, trust, and an organization that increasingly seems to be getting outworked by everyone around it. We also hit Secretary of State endorsement ping-pong, politicians flooding the feed with carefully curated normalcy, vicious campaign ads, and, naturally, another round of South Dakota’s best burger debate.
