North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is quickly moving up President Trump's list of possible vice presidential picks because Trump's team believes he would be a safe choice who could attract moderate voters (archive.ph)

Doug Burgum is a close friend to globalist Bill Gates.

This is a disaster if this ends up being true.

Burgum is much worse than Mike Pence.

So, why do some North Dakotans have a problem with this friendship? Perhaps that answer is best found in Governor Burgum’s own comments to Point of View’s host Chris Berg during an interview on July 26th.

“[Bill] and Melinda are doing so many amazing things on education in the United States, on global health…”

I don't know enough about this. Being supposedly "friends" with Bill Gates is not enough for me. I'm not that easily persuaded.

By no means am I an advocate for this literal nobody (though I'd prefer him over Birdbrain, Elise Stefanik, Kristie Noem and Tim Scott), but I don't think being friends with Bill Gates is the red flag you think it is - let alone in 2017. A lot of people think Bill Gates is a good guy because he has/had good PR.

Bill gates was / is behind "common core" which is several years older than that. Nobody aware of things wants anything short of a noose for that marxist demon.

It's a huge red flag among the online-right, but certainly not enough of one to get them to turn against Trump or not show up to the polls.

I doubt we have to worry about Noem. Literally shooting a puppy because it was "untrainable," isn't going to poll well. It wasn't even a shitbull.

I still really want to see Press Secretary Ramaswamy. It makes no sense but damn if it wouldn't be years of fun.

It's's encouraging that he's considering a white guy instead of trying to out Democrat the Democrats on DIE. As long as he doesn't choose a bitch because of what's between her legs I have no strong opinions on the VP pick or Burgum in particular.

What scares me about Burgum as the VP is that the establishment absolutely would be incentivized to "JFK" Trump to get Burgum in as President.

Burgum as President is just W. Bush on steroids.

Foreign wars, tax cuts for woke corporations and Bill Gates in his ear.

I hope Trump picks someone more populist who doesn't repulse independent voters and is not someone the establishment loves.

What do you have to back that up?

Not that you can trust a politician's words, of course, but on the debate stage he seemed much less neoconny than most of the others, and actually said a few sensible things.

The main issue with Doug Burgum is how hilariously, inexplicably, almost magically forgettable he was. You literally had to remind yourself he was on stage, and immediately forgot who he was or what he looked like after the debate.

But I do remember him seeming saner than some of the others on the debate stage.

Just like Mike Pence, then later he showed up with an israel flag on his suit.

Damning with faint praise, I see.

Faint praise indeed, if even that. I just mean he didn't come across as an arch-neocon that was so establishment they'd kill the President to install him.

Then again, it's always the boring ones you have to watch out for anyway, maybe he is a sleeper.

I like Mark Robinson but he's probably not the best choice for an ideologically balanced ticket. He would probably help Trump with the black male vote though.

I really like Mark Robinson but he would ensure Trump loses the election.

Robinson's honest comments about the Jews will be played in every attack ad on a loop 24/7.

He is not a good choice to pair up with Trump.

I think someone like JD Vance is good as he has decent optics and is populist.

If Trump wants someone moderate, none of the choices are good: Doug Burgum, Tim Scott and Marco Rubio are allegedly on the short list.

Out of these three, Rubio is the least worst.

The establishment would absolutely try to murk Trump to get their puppets Scott or Burgum installed. Don't know if they would do it for Marco Rubio. Rubio is actually voting somewhat like a populist on key votes these days. He voted against Ukraine and Israel funding.

If taking out Trump was an option, they would have done it already. Their simulations undoubtedly show that directly removing Trump would 100% trip the boog (and that they would lose). It’s the only explanation for why it hasn’t already happened. In fact, I would make sense for them to be actively thwarting any such attack in order to preserve the current peace.

I mean, I don't think they'd do it - he's nearly 80 and very fat and unhealthy, they also have tons of 'legal' ways in which they could take him out - but trusting in the sanity and restraint of the regime is not a strategy, and it is not an option.

Besides, considering that he might die of natural causes, you want a decent VP. And even if he isn't going to die, you'd want someone decent to have a head start as his VP.

I can't put this nicely, I don't want the VP to be a woman or anyone non-White.

I wonder if they'll sneak a Jew in. MAGA-types (MAGAts as the left calls them) basically suck Israel's dick. And if they got an Israeli dick sucking Jew to be VP, people would still vote for Trump. Not a secular Jew. But a Zionist, religious Jew.

i.e. Lee Zeldin, Elise Stefanik

But tbh I don't think the GOP has secular jews, the democrats tend to cluster the Seth Rogan atheist jews whereas the GOP has the insane zionist Sheldon Adelson jews.

Same. This is a huge improvement over the rumor that he was going to pick Tulsi a few weeks back.

Why? At least Tulsi is against the security state abuses & against neocons.

Because her voting record is worse than that of any neocon's. I will keep the top of the ticket blank if she is his running mate. I will never vote for that gun grabbing cunt.

I don't give a single fuck about what she is saying about it now, especially when she is straight up lying about how she has "always supported the second amendment". Talk is cheap. Her voting record proves otherwise. She is just saying what she thinks will get her put in a position of power.

None of you dickless simps will ever convince me to vote for that bitch. Fuck Tulsi.
