Burgum appears to be reliable, competent and loyal. That’s more than enough. Trump doesn’t need a VP to help him get elected. He just needs a VP who doesn’t lose him votes.

It should have been done a long time ago. NPR can get by without government subsidies and the amount of money taxpayers give to NPR is miniscule in the grand scheme of things. But it’s still a matter of principle. Live and die on your own, NPR. Don’t force conservatives to help you.

It’s true that Biden glanced at his watch. It’s also true that he did so as he and others were lowering their hands after the caskets had passed. Does that make it any better? Not much, in my opinion, but the picture does make it look more blatant than it appears to be when you watch the video. Either way, Biden still sucks.

Bill Barr a billionaire? Alex Azar a billionaire? Etc. a billionaire? Come on man. Give me a break. As far as John Kerry, he and his wife’s combined wealth hovers at about a billion.

Here’s a list of Trump’s cabinet secretaries. Hardly what I would call an infatuation with billionaires. On the other hand, if it’s the right billionaire, a billionaire could very well be the best man for the job. Someone who actually has experience with the subject matter is not a bad thing, as long as their loyalties are to the country and not to the 1%. Someone like, I don’t know, Trump, for example.
BTW, here’s a look at Obama’s cabinet. Maybe on or two fewer billionaires, but the billionaire he had - John Kerry - was a doozy. He also had a number of very wealthy multi-millionaires - like Hillary Clinton. I’ll take Trump’s cabinet any day.

I have to say, If Trump is acquitted - and that’s a big IF, it would be a sweet victory because the MSM clowns who have been telling their viewers that this is a legitimate case will have to explain why 12 New York liberals decided to acquit.

I think a lot of people who are reacting with “He’s boring”, etc. haven’t seen very much of him. Did you watch his speech in New Jersey this weekend? He’s actually a pretty decent speaker and just as importantly, does not come across as insincere like Mike Pence did.

>>”He also has links to Microsoft, possibly a bud of Bill Gates.”
He sold the IT company he founded, Great Plains Software, to Microsoft in 2001 for 1.1 Billion dollars. He became a Microsoft VP in charge of the new Microsoft division that had been created from the merger. In 2007, he left Microsoft. I’m not sure if that makes him a bud of Bill Gates.
