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.

A ridiculous idea, IMHO.

That leaves Vivek and Nikki out of the running, Ron, as well.

I see no reason a Trump-Trump ticket wouldn’t work. Those that hate Trump won’t vote for him no matter who is VP and Don Jr. would be unquestionably loyal and ready to take the big chair in four years.

Having the hottest First and Second ladies of all time would just be icing on the cake.

Oh really. A self made billionaire is a clown? I happen to know his employees really liked him and he is respected as a governor. Who are you for - Taylor Swift?

Burgum is my cousin.

He looked Ok, but I don’t know much about him. Id rather see Tucker, or Kid Rock. Not even kidding.

I agree. Sad to say most normal and honorable people have the same notion.

If Burgum was deliberately minimized by the media, as the writer suggests, I’d assume there must be some reason, which means he might be a good idea after all. Since I didn’t watch any debates, idk the guy at all.

Since I'm against CLONING, the nominee needs to be as close to being Trump as possible.

I love Kari. Trump loves Kari. But she has too big of a personality. He cannot be upstaged by his VP.

Burgum fever is sweeping the nation. Eye roll. No. Kristi or Kari or Vivek.

B is a nice, good man with credentials. Byron Donalds is also very articulate, very conservative, and respected by Trump. Donalds speakes his mind without trepidation, does not back down and a perfect match with Trump. Any way, that is my opinion.

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.


Great suggestion!!!
