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.
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.
