Burgum says he wouldn’t serve as Trump running mate
The Hill ^ | 08/28/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum said on Monday he would not serve as former President Trump’s running mate if the former president were to win the party’s nomination in 2024.

“No, I would not,” Burgum, who is also running for president, said in an interview on “CNN This Morning,” when asked whether he would serve as Trump’s vice president.

“Happy to do lots of other things. I [had a] fabulous 30 years in the private sector, a lot of opportunities there,” the North Dakota governor continued.

Burgum also shot down the suggestion of accepting a cabinet position.

>> is he that vain?

Yes! Plus, he’s decided (or been assured) that he is “our” intellectual and moral better, and we’re fortunate to have him control us for our own good.

He’s a flaming climatista, you know.

“Burgum says he wouldn’t serve as Trump running mate”

well, THAT’S a relief! I’ve been waking up in cold sweats every night, terrorized by that very prospect ... Wait! Who is Burgum, again?

CNN trying to stir the pot. The guy is running for President he’s not going to say he wants to be secretary of commerce.

Did this no-name seek and/or get an endorsement from Pres Trump?

It’s amazing how self-important these folks, even one from a state that has more cows than people, can be.

I’m glad for the people of North Dakota and the fact that the Bakken Oil Reserve was found, so they can get a chance to make some money. Wonder what this guy would be doing if it weren’t for that.

Doug is the epitome of a losing rino, he sold out his campaign and he sold out the RNC.

Well what is he supposed to say? “I’m really running for VP or a cabinet position?”

ND doesn’t have enough clout for a VP running mate so I’m thinking cabinet.

I am here to announce that I will not serve as Vice President for any nominee.

Not that anybody is going to ask. ;-)

He paid people $20 to donate $1 so he could make the debate stage. If he thinks other people are for sale, it proves he is for sale.

I doubt he could buy his way into a cabinet position.

Well, since Doug went first, I’ll say that I won’t serve as Trump’s running mate, either.

As of July 1, 2022, the entire population of North Dakota was 779,261, about the same population as Nashville Tennessee.

Basically, he is like the mayor of a medium size city. He is also on the list of being “friendly” to China. That’s all you need to know. /spit

Graduated College the same year Reagan was elected. Interesting to note he didn’t see any need to serve in uniform either on active duty or in the reserves. It would be interesting to know the family history in that regard.

Somebody DID ask him.

Did you not read the article before posting it?

Trump has a limited field of milktoast options to pick from.

There’s some gal governor from a flyover state that might do. I forget her name right now, but most everybody else is a swamp rat or not a NBC.
