Who?
Guy in 2nd to last place in Iowa. Ahead of the guy at 0%, but behind the guy at 2%.
Doug Burgum, man. Legendary Outlaw.
Who?
I’ve never heard of the guy and didn’t even know he was running.
I’m sure his supporter is devastated.
Fucking who?
There needs to be many more of these. I know, I know, people are holding out hope for the Iowa caucus, but it’s really pointless.

It’s a race to see “who gets to lose to Trump by 40 points.”
Trump 54%
DeSantis 18%
Haley 12%
Ramaswamy 6%
Christie 3%
Scott 2%
Burgum 1%
Hutchinson 0%
Anyone in single digits needs to drop out. Or put it another way, you could combine the support for all the other candidates behind a single person and they would still lose to Trump by 8 points.
“The RNC’s clubhouse debate requirements are nationalizing the primary process and taking the power of democracy away from the engaged, thoughtful citizens of Iowa and New Hampshire,”
Bold strategy you had there cotton.
You may know Doug Bergum from the store.
Narrator: They didn’t.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
North Dakota Gov.
Doug Burgum announced Monday that he’s dropping out of the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
“The RNC’s clubhouse debate requirements are nationalizing the primary process and taking the power of democracy away from the engaged, thoughtful citizens of Iowa and New Hampshire,” Burgum said in a statement bashing the rules that kept him out of the most recent debate.
The original article contains 64 words, the summary contains 64 words. Saved 0%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I rarely give the gop credit but if they’re taking power away from Iowa and New Hampshire they at least get props for that. Terrible places those
This is like when you see the announcement of some celebrity’s death, and you didn’t even know they were still alive.
You mean all those millions he burned flooding NH and Iowa with TV ads and giving $20 gift cards in return for a $1 donation didn’t pay off?
giving $20 gift cards in return for a $1 donation didn’t pay off?
That seems…vaguely illegal? I can’t say how, though. But it seems wrong to be able to pay people to donate to a political campaign. Like it’s trying to get around campaign finance laws.
Spending $19 to get $1 doesn’t immediately seem to make sense, but one of the debate threshholds was to have a specific number of unique donations.
Who is he and what did he look like before his face melted?
He never had a chance.
Face of genetic white Republican douche.
