This is one hell of an ad from the Democrat running US Senate in South Dakota.

1. Does he have a chance in hell to win?

[James48]

13. Unfortunately it's a real uphill battle.

A Democrat last won statewide in 1964. Lyndon Johnson. Before that, it was FDR in 1936.


But you never know. The satellites from Italy could play a part in November.

[fierywoman]

17. ...

[IronLionZion]

19. And Senators Tom Daschle and Tim Johnson

[Tommymac]

27. UM, Dem Sen G. McGovern represented South Dakota in the 1960's. LBJ was from Texas, and President.

Just fact checking. I believe you may have meant to refer the last Democratic statewide Presidential race?

Sen McGovern was a rare anti-war progressive, and was the Democratic Candidate for President in 1972 - he got trounced by Nixon; it was in 1972 that the Watergate break-in occurred.

Sen McGovern was smeared by the RNC in 1972 as a weak person; in reality he served his country well in combat in WW2, completing over 25 missions commanding a heavy bomber over Nazi Germany. A very brave man.

2. This commercial is awesome!

[Midnight Writer]

3. John Thune is one of our Moscow Senators who spent the Fourth of July with Putin

Thune is also the Senator who advised Americans to "make themselves small" so they don't attract the attention of deranged mass shooters.

Thune is one of those Senators I pray will go down in defeat. He thinks he is in a safe seat and is immune from consequences.

[calimary]

25. Glad we know where his loyalties lie.

I hope the rest of the voters get that, too.

Imagine: ANYBODY spending America’s birthday in the capitol city of her biggest, longest, and most loudly-avowed adversary. This guy who did that is a United States Senator.

[GreenWave]

30. Should be aired a lot.

Traitors don't fare too well.

[Lovie777]

4. K & R . . .

[calimary]

22. Just more proof that Republicans DON'T Want to Help You.

They don't think they should have to.

Ironically, at the same time, they loudly and frequently claim to worship our Lord Jesus.

[mopinko]

6. if he gets the native vote and it doesnt get suppressed, he wins.

that's a rly great ad. i think it changes minds.

[liberalla]

29. I agree. That ad is excellent and adds new information to the conversation. Frames issues

in atypical ways, and yes - changes minds!

An impressive man.


Give him a chance South Dakota!

[mopinko]

31. i think there's gonna be a YUUUUGE native turnout.

i worked a congressional race in '14 in way upper wis. kelly westlund.
same candidate is running for a statehouse seat this time. deb haaland made changes to boundaries up there that put a whole big rez in the district. there was at least 1 native guy on the ticket in '14.
i'm assuming they have more than 1 this time.

[liberalla]

32. Gawd I hope so. That would be so fantastic!

Thune? He's way past his sell-by date, and needs to go.

[ultralite001]

7. Democrats need messaging like this across our great nation...

Well said, Brian Bengs...

May you achieve great things for South Dakota...

Come on, America...

Jump on this train...

That is all...

[The Unmitigated Gall]

8. Oh I like him.

[LisaM]

9. It's a good ad, though I don't believe in term limits.

I wish he'd left that out. Biden and Pelosi have both been in politics for more than 40 years each and look what they are accomplishing now, due to their experience.

[Sogo]

11. Term limits is a double edged sword.

It's bad in regards to valuable experience, as you've cited.

It's good in regards to getting rid of the deadbeats, like Thune, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, etc., etc.

[NJCher]

24. plus let's not forget

they can rotate around in various types of government jobs. Cabinet positions, department heads, etc.

Example: Liz Cheney, who is probably going to lose her primary today, is not going anywhere. Count on her staying in some type of high profile, political job.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

28. This stood out for me as well.

[RicROC]

10. but Repubs like term limits, so the ad still is a winner.

Bengs reaches out to everyone, even to the Nationalist Christians/Nat-Cs/Repubs.

[Wild blueberry]

12. That is a great ad!

Thank you.

[MuseRider]

14. We need a LOT more of that!

Great ad, well done and it covered many bases without going on and on and getting boring.

Well done.

[RobertDevereaux]

15. I just donated from the Chip In Now, above. Consider doing likewise.

[scipan]

16. Trump won 62-36% in 2020.

Great ad, but how does he have a chance in hell.

[Hekate]

18. WOW! That is a helluva good ad

[IronLionZion]

20. If he address Native American issues too, he could gain their votes

SD is a low population state. They like grassroots campaigners more than someone who has grown out of touch with their constituents over the years.

[niyad]

21. Great ad.

[Mysterian]

26. Best of luck to LTC Bengs in South Dakota

But the zombies seem to have infested that state to a great degree.

[Liberal In Texas]

33. I wish him luck, but Thune probably doesn't even have to campaign.

He's a fixture in the seat. And S. Dakota is redder than around here.

[Brainfodder]

34. Good luck Mr. Bengs and yeah one hell of good AD!

Thune, disgusting, same as usual.

[liberalla]

35. Brian Bengs... I hope we hear that name a lot!
