When you think about it…you have to wonder how many of the career politicians can walk and chew gum at the same time,let alone do what JB did in this video. I think this video is brilliant. He makes sense,gets his points across,and does it with a sense of humor. Personally,I’d cut the guy some slack. He strikes me as the average American that’s just plain fed up with what goes on in DC and I give him a lot of credit for having the guts to say what many people are thinking and feeling. There’s only so much BS that we can tolerate before somebody stands up and calls out the big shots for being horse’s asses. Bottom line: We need someone to do right and stand up for the people and best interests of South Dakota. Kristi Noem isn’t the right person for the job.
