Noem was not ever the front runner. Burgum would be an awesome pick. He understands exactly what is going on and is beholden to no one. Burgum can not be bought.

North Dakota has 3 electoral votes and they could be important in a close election.

You're joking.

IMHO, he’s always been the best choice for VP. All the rest have too much baggage, or they are needed right where they are.

Well, in this grand pursuit, it seems we’ve all have a dog in this hunt.

If we’re picking a VP, why not consider Kristi Noem? After all, she’s got quite the geopolitical swagger, from her legendary tête-à-tête with Kim Jong Un to her stellar leadership of Winston Churchill amidst the chaos of the London Blitz.

Kristi’s dog, unfortunately, is out of the hunt.

The Daily Mail obviously wanted Noem out of the race. They achieved that result.

This is all coming out of left-wing media. Why is anyone believing it?

Trump’s choice will become clear in his own time. Til then this is just intellectual masturbation.

He is my cousin so I know a few things about him. He built Great Plains software & then sold to Microsoft for LOTS of dinero. He became an executive with MSFT and in a book the current CEO called Burgum the “soul of Microsoft”. But...he went back to the Great Plains of ND.

He’s a decent guy with common sense problem solving. Our family had grain elevators. My branch moved to the San Diego area partly because of the winters in ND.

No- and people should stop trying to game this. It will not be one of the “candidates”. Full stop.

No more cabinet back stabbers either. Only loyal.

Unless Trump is going to change his residency from Florida, Marco Rubio is not even possible - why do they list him?

Difficult to take an article seriously that does things like this.

If North Dakota is even in contention then this election is over before it even starts.

His oldest three children can’t be president because their mother was not a citizen when they were born.

Tiffany Trump is Donald Trump’s, only child who is eligible to be president. She would turn 35 3 weeks before the 2028 presidential election.

I’m not saying I support Kristi Norm, but I’m not sure she’s getting a fair deal in this whole dog story.

Do you have any proof to suggest the tech community might support Burgum?

He’s my choice and I think Trump’s.
