On a day that is his one shot in the GOP primary and a day where GOP activists are asking "who?," North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum might not make the debate stage. He had a freak accident playing a pick-up game of basketball and was rushed to the hospital. He was to be the old white guy all the way to the right of the stage. As opposed to Asa Hutchinson all the way to the left of the stage.

Some of you may be wondering "but I thought the North Dakota Governor was an absolute smokeshow." You're thinking South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, who is fiiiiiiine. Doug Burham, I had no idea existed let alone was a candidate until he was announced yesterday. And I say that as someone who is entrenched in this junk.

How did this guy get on the debate stage? It's one of the reasons why the RNC is useless and the debates process is silly. The RNC sets rules and guidelines to wade through the unserious candidates who are just looking for their fifteen-minutes of PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEE! And those unserious candidates find ways around them anyway.

Burgum exploited those guidelines by donating ten million dollars to his own campaign. Then he paid people $20 in gift cards if they donated $1 to his campaign so he could meet the donor threshold. And for that, he gets to take away precious TV time that could be given to cats like Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, or Tim Scott who at the very least has a puncher's chance.

Or, he would've gotten to take away their time. He has a high-grade tear of his Achilles tendon and can't stand up without crutches. Oh well. We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website were excited to hear his opinions on... I don't even have the snark.
