Who he is, would be a good reason to pick him.
He seems boring to me. I want a fighter with a personality like Vance, Stefanik, or Donalds.
Yawn.... brings nothing to the table... can’t get excited at all over this... holding out for Tulsi to shake things up.
Governor of North Dakota. Not sure what advantages he brings to the ticket.
I’ll go with Secretary of Energy to lead the “Drill, Baby, Drill” reconstruction. Technology and energy are his background
Neither one is even remotely appesling.
The man built a billion dollar software business in North Dakota, governor of a state rich in energy and ultra low unemployment, seems like a genuinely nice person and can speak passionately, intelligently, and at length on any number of subjects....
But he isn’t a pretty lady, black, a lawyer, or angry all the time, so most of the political punditry has decided he doesn’t belong in American politics.
The difference maker would be Greg Abbott, the Texas Governor.
Yeah, no. He managed to get 1% of the poll numbers when he was in the race. Besides that, the Uniiparty was highly in favor of him.
Burgum is said to be the Trump campaign’s main advisor on energy policy.
DeSantis would be best, but we don’t deserve that good.
That Scott would even be considered to be in the running is ridiculous.

BISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Doug Burgum today released the following statement in response to the COVID-19 guidance released this week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding fully vaccinated individuals.
“Active COVID-19 cases today represent just 3% of North Dakota’s peak case numbers last November. Statewide hospitalizations due to COVID-19 remain below 20 patients, and July deaths due to COVID-19 are on track to be the lowest since the pandemic began. Yet our positive case numbers are trending in the wrong direction, even with limited testing occurring,” Burgum said. “The highly contagious Delta variant is driving cases up across the United States, and nearly all COVID-related hospitalizations and deaths are among those not vaccinated. Safe, effective vaccines are available to all North Dakotans ages 12 and up and represent the best defense against COVID-19, including the Delta variant. Individuals with questions about the vaccines, which are now protecting nearly 1.5 billion people worldwide, are encouraged to visit with their own doctor or medical provider.
“The State of North Dakota will not be recommending any changes for state employees in response to the new CDC guidance at this time,” Burgum continued. “North Dakota’s statewide COVID-19 emergency ended April 30. Local entities are best suited to consider CDC guidelines based on local conditions, including case rates, positivity rates and available hospital capacity. North Dakota has relied on personal responsibility throughout the pandemic. Residents are encouraged to educate themselves on the differences of the Delta variant, be aware of the level of spread in their area and utilize well-known COVID-19 etiquette and mitigation measures as appropriate.”
I still hope that he picks Dr. Ben Carson.
Even I remember yesterday when, for a few hours, Nikki Haley was the fave.
Trade war with China, & tariffs, hurting domestic farmers These proposed tariffs are particularly concerning for North Dakotans considering China is our fourth-largest export market and a major buyer of our agricultural products, including our No. 1 export market for soybeans. Disrupting that trade relationship puts our farmers at a disadvantage, and we urge the administration to negotiate a deal that benefits U.S. producers and blocks these proposed retaliatory tariffs from taking effect.

We need tariffs if we are to survive as an industrialized nation. Mabve most right wingers don't give crap about that. I sure as hell do...
Two empires get into a war, one makes ships, planes and tanks the other is a "major producer of soy beans." Which one wins?
it’s gonna be tim scott: he’s already out today stumping for Donald Trump today and being labeled “a Trump surrogate” ...
and he’s doing a pretty good job too ...
i got to thinking that another bomb-thrower like Kari Lake as Trump VP would be red meat for we ultra-conservatives, but an apparently more reasoned and moderate voice for VP might be a welcome balance for many voters relative to Trump’s wonderful bombastic style ...
