    If you've been waiting for Burgum to declare, its now official. He's in. In case you were wondering - as I was, he is Governor of North Dakota. Another billionaire that can save us and with 3 electoral votes from ND, he can't be overlooked.
    Doug Burgum, Wealthy North Dakota Governor, Enters Presidential Race.

    Gov. Doug Burgum, the Republican governor of North Dakota, former software executive and billionaire, announced on Wednesday he would run for president on his economic record, entering an increasingly crowded race as the stolid candidate of business and technology.

    This year, Mr. Burgum signed into law a near-total ban on abortion and created significant restrictions on gender transition care, including banning any requirements that teachers or school administrators use a student’s preferred pronouns.

    Appreciate the summary.
    Sounds like a great candidate sans the abortions.

    Well, it's obvious that all these people now running for the nomination want Trump to win it. Could anyone on the planet be less deserving of such altruism?
