First off, he was asked the question and answered it.

Secondly, he’s a self made billionaire. Apparently an excellent businessman and excellent governor.

What exactly have you done with your life except spout off to strangers on the internet?

Look at you. Are you his BFF?

You seem kind of triggered. Odd.

He’s a great governor. Really? Never heard of him.

Because its North Dakota. You just love to mock people who have accomplished tremendous things in their lives as “no-names”. It’s a sign of your own insecurities. Apparently if a guy isn’t a camera and media whore, then he’s insignificant in your eyes. Given your mentality, now I know how the Kardashians got so popular. You’re a fan of style over substance.

You got me.

So, bigdaddy45 is 100% Never Trump. Won’t vote when he’s the republican nominee because bigdaddy45 has to prove a point to himself and no one else.

Your mind is so small, its a wonder you can even post on the internet.

Have something nice to say about one of Trump’s rivals? NEVER TRUMPER!!!! Trump is to be praised, and all others are to be ridiculed. No matter their views or accomplishments in life.

Its like you’ve joined a cult. Well no, you HAVE joined a cult.

I’m sure they forgot to post all of his hard work on the Reagan Primary effort in 1976 and 1980.

I’m generally not inclined to make a big deal out of a politician’s prior military service (or lack thereof) ... too many POS politicians wore our Uniform and then disgraced it.

However ...

When a very enthusiastic fan of a politician who did not wear our Uniform sneers at a different politician for not having done so ... the hypocrisy deserves to be called out.

AWwwwwwwww hell...He worked on the Reagan Primary. That’s akin to being the draft writer to the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.

I must have forgotten that.

I'll give him credit for that, but he didn't exactly build it from scratch. He bought it with inherited money and build it from one of several accounting software companies and turned it into an industry leader.

Personally, I like Doug. We were even briefly classmates in a college class, but he has made North Dakota into an immigration destination for exactly the wrong kinds of immigrants, including Ilhan Omar. What does that tell you?

No it’s an indicator though. It is notable how many flag wavers I meet took a pass on actually stepping up themselves. I see a lot of it on this forum and in the GOP in general.

No he didn’t and that’s an indicator for a guy his age, just like the lack of military service.

My introduction to uniform-waving politicians was the execrable Senator John Glenn.

I cast no aspersions on the Marine Aviator and Astronaut Colonel John Glenn ... But the poor bastard left his brains in orbit or something. He was a horrible senator.

So I’m a bit skeptical ...

Good point. McGovern and Mondale would be two more. On the GOP side it’s a bit different.

No he didn’t....What?

And what does age have to do with military service?
