Trump/Burgum 2024?
The Hill ^ | 01/16/2024 | DOUGLAS MACKINNON

Posted on 01/16/2024 10:40:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

I’ve written in the past that during the early GOP presidential campaign debates, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum came across as the adult in the room. Burgum proved himself to be articulate, authentic and funny. He spoke atop a platform of vast experience and came across as presidential. And yet most Americans don’t know his name. Why?

Well, unfortunately for Burgum, most of the media — including much of the conservative media — unfairly relegated him to second-tier status in a class of candidates that included Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and even entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. On top of that, the debate moderators for those first two debates failed to give Burgum his deserved amount of time and number of questions.

Doug Burgum is a clown who literally LOOKS like a clown!

He’s a decent, quiet entity, which I can also say for my bed post.

The media hated him in 2008 and trashed him to make way for Hussein O to be the only black candidate running.

I don’t know enough about him. What I would say is a good test is to go back to January 6th 2021 and the immediate aftermath. What was his initial reaction? At a moment when Trump looked down and out how did X or Y person react. Easy to be all aboard when Trump has 50% or 60% of the party nation wide.

Apply the test I mentioned. Before any names are floated they MUST pass the test.

The Leftist Hill and DOUGLAS MACKINNON is out of touch with the MAGA movement (which is not “Trump” exclusively, but a huge majority of freedom-loving Americans).

I think he looks like he belongs on the $20 bill. Nevertheless, Trump will go with a woman I believe.

Or Ben Carson. Ben is solid and if he pulls a few more percent of the Black male vote it's game set match.

If BurgUm would commit to moving all of the fed agencies out of DC then he’s a go. Nome Alaska has a lot of office space. Quanset huts and cots no internet. land line phone and a desk and chair.
