  1. The first time I saw Doug Burgum he was standing on my parents roof cleaning their chimney! This guy is a good man and not afraid of hard work! I hope I have the opportunity to vote for him for president!

  2. So Fox News is ableist. Big surprise.

  3. Give the man an Oscar!

  4. I'm glad you're ok Governor and go debate!!!

  5. O WOW such a sacrifice to tue Country, and they can't even vote on Military leaders. ALL OF THEM ARE DISQUALIFIED IF THEY CAN NOT DO THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY THEY SQORE TO UPHOLD

  6. Let him sit down for crying out loud.

  7. Why is Biden hiding from the WOKE debates????

  8. Now if he had a Parrot ……special ….

  9. One leg , two crutches – give him an eye patch and call him Captain Doug 🙂

  10. Wow! That “reporter” just couldn’t get him to talk about Trump. As soon as she figured that out, the “interview” ended. Go figure.

  11. He's already tougher than Cpt. Bone Spurs.

  12. Obama play basketball all throughout his presidency and he didn't pull so much as a hamstring😂😂😂😂😂😂 sorry Governor but you are frail😂😂😂😂

  13. They could give him a stool, right?

  14. It's the North Dakota boy not willing to give up. ❤❤❤❤❤

  15. Why is this guy even running? I think this bad leg is a sign he needs to quit before he makes more of a fool of himself.

  16. Oh, nice that he has access to such a great specialist.

  17. Dougys campaign also has a major injury. Ironic.

  18. If he we’re there tonight or not, I don’t think anyone would notice.

  19. Who? Zero name recognition.
    If he can pat his head, chew gum AND stand on one leg during the debate I still will never vote Republican.

  20. Republicans going to lose again vote donate to democrats gop sucks garbage trash move on already from trash garbage disposal

  21. doug burgum is my govener, hes the best there is !

  22. Why can't all the debate candidates have chairs to accommodate the governor? That way all the candidates would be treated the same way on that issue. Seated debates have been done before.

  23. The guy in the background looks like he’s just standing there staring at the stage lights.

  24. He shed tears talking about how much he loves his country. But still can’t bring himself to admit Trump is bad. He’ll be out of the race within hours. The country needs people who stand up to tyrants.

  25. Wow, he's really rubbing it in Greg Abbott's a$$.

  26. Trump is paralyzed from the ears up, so he doesn't even have one leg to stand on at the debate.

  27. The biggest clown circus show in history 🤡🎪👈And missing orange clown with Tucker 🍊🧹👈
