I had high hopes for her. It's too late. She's done to me. And nothing will change it. It's more than one issue. It exposes a deep character flaw.

Terrible advice. Just terrible.

You can even forget principles here; just look at public opinion. Most people have no problem with someone choosing their gender, but women's sports were specifically created to block the born-in advantages of biological men. A guy can identify as a girl and even make alterations, but those advantages are wholly unaffected. If that guy-turned-girl then chooses to participate in girl's sports, it obliterates the entire reason for women's sports--which is blocking the bio-male advantage.

More importantly for Noem, she was running neck-and-neck with DeSantis for 2024, but now he'll bolt out ahead of her. What a terrible shame. A thousand Amazon jobs won't fix that, and they were hardly necessary for a state with the nation's lowest unemployment.

Terrible, terrible advice.

We just moved to SD because of Noem. And now we’re already second guessing our decision. Noem appears to be just another corruptible Romney RINO in the making. What a damn shame.

Kristi Noem is South Dakota's Beautiful Liar. She put in Contact tracing early during the pandemic, and people were forced into quarantine because of it. She STILL has a Stay-At-Home order for Sioux Falls' elderly that she lied about and said she never did (EO #2020-13). She told doctors they could NOT use HCQ even after being given 190,000 doses to prove it worked (yeah-I called that ruse early). And what part of her Ex Order, do people not understand? #2020-12, sections 11-13 declares that businesses SHALL SUSPEND normal operation and follow the CDC guidelines. Just like every other Governor did. Sioux Falls was ruined because of her shut down...every larger town was. The town with populations of less than 1000 were fine...but so were California's tiny towns. She is a protégé of Tom Daschle and has a conservative rating from Heritage Action of 57%...worse than some Democrats. Plus when in congress she voted 100% with the Globalist United Nations.

Sorry, it's too late. Once you've proven yourself to be a weakling, (or worse) a stooge for the left, there is no chance at rebuilding your profile. We know what your character is, and you can't say "it was just this one time. I promise". We're done voting for those types of gutless politicians.

Like her a lot, but on the National stage, she is toast (just like Nikki Haley, whom I also like). Just sayin’...

I agree Kristi, for whom I had high hopes, needs to hire better advisors....Donald, help her out!

When did the wishes of the NCAA and the Chamber Of Commerce overshadow the voice of the voters?

It's not just Noam, it's folks like Ben Shapiro and the rest of the GOP. Conservatives seriously need to stop worshiping corporations and capitalism. You can't complain about "crazy libs" or "socialism" while bankrolling the corporations and institutions that platform and promote "crazy liberalism" and "socialism". You cannot serve two masters.

At the bare minimum, they should support small business and middle class families, nothing else. No more tax cuts or deals for big businesses like Amazon.

Then again, it's probably intentional by design. They're not compelled to solve any social issue since people easily hand in money before they deliver receipts. Stop rewarding inflammatory rhetoric (marketing) and reward those who successfully act on it. Not behind appealing labels where the opposite actions are occurred.

Noem. Weak on transgenders, weak on refugees, weak, weak, weak. This is not the profile of a leader.

We are engaged with the forces of chaos and deconstruction and weakness is not acceptable.

Those suffering from dysphoria should organize their own events and games, not seek acceptance from the normal. The Special Olympics should serve as their ideal. Normal Americans will send their pity on the way to the true Boys and true Girls events.

If Rachel Dolezal isn’t black then trannies ain’t women.

These kinds of laws are unnecessary. Just let the sports leagues decide who is qualified to participate.

Most Republicans have no backbone, stand for no principles. We need true conservatives (not establishment Republicans) to run for office or we’ll all be required to pick gender pronouns soon.

Asia for the Asians, Africa for the Africans, but White countries for EVERYBODY? That’s Genocide! Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

This is an ongoing problem for our Republican leaders - inability to go to the mat on key issues/values. With misguided vote, we again lose hope for our party and republic!
