2024 Presidential Election

$1 for $20? Republican presidential candidate promises to give gift cards to donors​

Republican presidential candidate and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is promising a $20 gift card to supporters who donate $1 to his presidential campaign.

“We want to help, so we’re offering YOU a $20 gift card, and all YOU have to do is contribute $1 to claim it,” a fundraising page for Burgum’s campaign says, limiting the offer to the first 50,000 donors.

The governor confirmed on Twitter that the donors will receive a Visa or Mastercard gift card to their mailing address, adding “I’m not messing around!”

The Republican National Committee has said in order to participate in the GOP debate next month in Milwaukee, candidates must have received contributions from at least $40,000 individual donors and at least 200 unique donors in 20 or more states.

“We’re serious about securing a spot on the debate stage so the American people can hear our plan for unleashing the economy and unlocking the best of America,” Burgum shared on Facebook on Wednesday, calling the gift cards “Biden relief cards,” an apparent jab at President Joe Biden.

Burgum has received .1% support in a Real Clear Politics average of polls on the crowded field of Republican candidates. Former President Donald Trump is leading the group with 52.6% support, followed by DeSantis with 21%.

But Burgum isn’t the only candidate trying to convince potential donors to help him qualify for Republican debates. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence and others have all in recent days appealed to supporters to donate to their campaigns to help them meet the RNC threshold.

Candidates aren't allowed to reimburse others for campaign contributions, but it wasn’t immediately clear that Burgum’s strategy would violate election rules, according to multiple reports. The Federal Election Commission in a statement to USA TODAY said it "is unable to comment on specific activities, nor may we speculate on matters that may have the potential to come before the agency."

“IF” the story is true, and if it is not clear that it doesn’t violate election rules…then election rules needs an immediate update.

I have been saying this for many years.

I can give a couple of reasons.
First - Not very many people want to put themselves and their families through the media and twitter etc. scrutiny and unjustified attacks.
Second - Reputable people who don’t lie, cheat and steal, aren’t paid enough to be the CEO of the most powerful country in the world.
 
I haven’t seen the slow motion footage yet. Sounds like it’s viewed by the MAGA club as deserving impeachment, or a show investigation by Jim Jordan at the very least. Trump talks about “doing” his own daughter and that’s beyond creepy but ok, but according to QAnon, Dems eat babies and drink their blood. Joe was just hungry. Did the baby cry, did it have teeth marks? Stitches? Did the mother shriek with fear? Is the child alright? Is the mother filing charges? Did Joe commit a crime? If so, what charge should he be indicted on? Maybe if you all hold your breath and wish on a star you can collectively turn Joe into the head of the Biden crime family, and in MAGA and QAnon terms they’re bigger crooks than the Trump crime family. I’d say good luck with that garbage but it’s such utter nonsense that I can’t.

He showers with his daughter and gropes, sniffs, and nibbles on every kid/female in sight. He’s got a problem.

At least the weirdo hasn’t tried to install himself as King. People around him aren’t being indicted every other day! He’s not afraid of truth. But feel free to up the $ amount that you send Trump each time something even more criminal is revealed.
With your physiatrist credentials you’ve determined that Biden’s a creepy old man. NOW what’s your truthful evaluation of Trump?
