Hopefully Burgum and Vance are no longer on his short list.

Accentuate the positive please. We all have negatives...even me...but don’t tell my kids...

[BigFreakinToad]

His peeps did a great job when they picked pence.

Burgum generated no excitement in the primaries.

He might not be bad for a cabinet position, but likely would not help the campaign.

The female pit bull, Elise Stefanik, will be at the debate. She’s very loyal to Trump, from NY and chews dems to the bone. Also, very pro-Israel. The house would have to find someone to replace her though.

Thanks for posting this.

I have a very conservative friend in ND and he told me about two years ago that, among other things, Burgum is a Globalist and not to be trusted. He said Burgum makes Mit Romney look like a rank amateur and he’s as slick as they come.

Given Trump’s disastrous record for picking backstabbers for his team, I wait with trepidation as to whom he might pick for VP and the cabinet.

I hope he learned from his past mistakes.

Well, this just shows what exactly ?

He bypassed the traditional Republican channels to get elected governor? Considering the low regard we have for the traditional Republican apparatus here on Free Republic, is that a bad thing?

Everyone said and did things during covid which we now wish had not happened. Even Trump is guilty if we want to go there.

Does anyone else think of John Delorean when they see a photo of Burgum?

[dowcaet]

His VP will be someone who isn’t being mentioned by the media. I’ll suggest one name: Lee Zeldin.

No matter who Trump picks, some FRepers will have butthurt and the punditsphere will clutch pearls or rejoice, whichever gets them the most clicks.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Burghum is not exactly socially conservative either.

[TexasFreeper2009]

we need someone who can help secure a state we need to win.

Someone from Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, or Virginia preferably. But there needs to be solid polling saying adding them would shift the numbers in our favor in THAT particular state. I don’t care about nationally.

[rktman]

Yup!

[horsappl]

I have friends and family in ND. None like Burgum, most dislike Burgum, all love Trump.

[TECTopcat]

Trump needs to win, and frankly Idk what Burgum brings to the table, help with battleground states ? no, black vote? no, hispanic vote? no, women’s vote? no, great debate capabilities/loyalty to Trump ? ?? . The only thing I see is that Trump will never pick somone who might upstage him and Burgum fits that role

[CarolinaReaganFan]

No thanks to this globalist Burgum.
Hell No to anyone from Fla,SC or NY.
JD vance is great but skank Dewine would appoint a RINO replacement.- still i’d sacrifice the senate seat to get him..
Carson is OK too
maybe Sanders or Noem- at least she didn’t tie a dog to her luggage rack.

FYI... Lori Hinz.

From KFRY-TV (8/29/2020): Republican Party names new North Dakota National Committeewoman

Lori Hinz (KFYR-TV)

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - The Republican National Convention has wrapped up, but one North Dakota attendee says the past week has been an unforgettable one. On Monday, delegates and committee members traveled down to Charlotte, North Carolina to begin the business portion of the convention and vote to renominate President Trump.

Lori Hinz began her day as a guest and ended it as North Dakota’s Republican National Committeewoman.

”I was very fired up to get involved, I’ve always wanted to do some sort of public service, but this was my opportunity to not only do public service for my state, but also for my country at the same time,” said Hinz.

Hinz is now one out of 168 members of the Republican National Committee.
