Burgum 2024

Who? The ND governor and former tech bro is expected to announce. He’ll be in it to win it. If you can run a state with over 700,000 people, maybe you should move to a big city and try to be mayor instead.

I’m very heartened by the Republicans that have declared their candidacy for president.  I’m a tad unhappy that the other Dakota’s Kristi Noem is still on the fence, but Asa Hutchinson floats my boat. And Tim Scott has raised the bar by saying he would not try to overturn the election if he loses.  Now that is a statesman!

An article in the NYT yesterday floated Chris Christie – not an easy task – as a possible opponent to the orange bag of sins. It said he "would need to go all in on his no-nonsense, in-your-face, Jersey tough-guy shtick". Of course, that would require an about face from his previous posture pictured on my 11/12/21 post. He’d also have to go up against the savvy pols who helped officially launch the charismatic Ron DeSantis’ campaign on Twitter.

What a dog’s breakfast!
