  1. Governor Burgum handled this tool like a pro

  2. I've never heard of this guy but my respect for him is through the roof.
    George tried to corner him repeatedly and Doug just wasn't going to let that happen. Good on HIM!!
    Trump is not the only story out there, nor is he the most important story out there. Doug's right. Mainstream Media won't talk about anything else, regardless of what George says about those issues being covered extensively.
    ABC, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, ABC, and the rest haven't talked about Joe's problems with influence peddling…There's nothing about the testimony from the parents of the 13 kids who died in Afghanistan…

    The Left side of the aisle doesn't mention much of anything except Trump…Trump…Trump
    ALL DAY, 24/7 TRUMP…………..that needs to be their new mantra/logo.

    24/7…WE DO TRUMP!!
    Never mind those other things…and ignore the man behind the curtain…
    WATCH HERE!! HERE'S WHERE YOU NEED TO BE…24/7 TRUMP…24/7 "Trumped up News"

  3. George,this is why people dont watch you and the MSM. I certainly do not go to ABC, CBS AND NBC to get a full story. I am hoping you all get the message. If not, your type of lopsided, biased reporting will only sink all of your ratings even more so that it will be financially unsustainable for you all to survive. Thank God for the internet!

  4. Being on a republican and the questions are TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP. George can't get him out of his head!

  5. Not answering one question is what I see. He doesn’t speak for me. Ummm 🤔🤔🤔🤔and big business would be the reason for inflation.
    Don’t need a billionaire distraction.

  6. There’s a tad more at work in ND responsible for successes here before him.

    Egregiously taking up space. Not a chance in hell to win
    Quit sending the bigoted 🤡🤡🤡🤡wasting taxpayers people’s’ money on cultural issues your laws won’t stop. Can’t wait until there’s some in the people he discriminates against show up and out in the family. Not a man of all the people. No thanks.

  7. I like him, and he's talking about the serious issues. He took the right approach. I believe there were some irregularities on the 2024 election.

  8. Burgum has done a great job as Governor in North Dakota since 2016. He helped mold the very rural state into an economic stronghold. Most people that love here don't want other states to know how great it is in fear that they will come ruin it like they have Colorado, Montana and Idaho.

  9. I can't believe all he wanted to talk about was Trump.

  10. Sweet a new brand of republican snake. Splitting the difference between subservience to the trump cult and old school failed republicans. He’s clearly a coward too afraid to express an honest opinion.

  11. How many more Rich ignorant think they can's are they going to pop out with this race

  12. I used to watch this week, meet the press and face the nation i think every week, and i liked the tough questions they asked republicans when trump was presiden. But when biden became president and this reporters did bot adk democrats the same tough questions they ask the republicans i stopped watching them and i dont like this programs anymore. Those programs are less than nothing. Garbage

  13. Interesting to note that two weeks ago not a word from "this week" about the issues with Hunter, the corrupt connection to his father, Hunters failed plea deal. All we heard on the show was Trump and all his legal battles……and Climate Change. This Guy GS, thinks we'r a bunch of idiots and don't see these kinds of interview questions as agenda driven propaganda.

  14. OK so I read all the negative comments here about Gov Doug Burgum and most of these people think he is a republican…….goes to show democrats and lefties are so brainwashed that they don't even know who is on their side…WAKE UP WOKIES>>>>GOV DOUG IS A DEMOCRAT…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  15. WOW WOW WOW WOW…HE MADE LEFTIE GEORGE LOOK SOOOO LIKE THE ESTABLISH MENT…HE CALLED HIM OUT…A MAN I'D VOTE FOR…HE WENT THE HIGH ROAD AND TALKED ABOUT REAL NEWS…BUT GEORGE WAS LIKE A POLITICAL WITCH HUNTER ….STUCK ON ONE TOPIC…TRUMP……ENOUGH SAID…LOL…LOL…..GOOD TRY ABC,,,BUT YOU CAN'T BRAINWASH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOREVER…GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE

  16. George still has Hillary up by 9 points and reporting that the hunter laptop is Russian disinformation, george is a joke

  17. Get over Trump and Biden and revieve the other electirials. Qualifications.

  18. George, Ya Ya Ya. The economy is bad. The border is over run. America is struggling regarding energy. But, But ,But Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump….
    George is a clown

  19. He rightly called out george for his hypocrisy.

  20. George Stephanopoulos has zero credibility as a journalist by ignoring the evidence Congress has put forth that will Impeach Joe Biden. He's a water carrying propagandist hoping people will be ignorant if they only watch legacy media

  21. Did they agree beforehand they would talk about Trump and Doug decided to take the opportunity to shift focus toward his campaign, or vise versa and George want to shift focus toward Trump? In the end, not a productive interview for either party

  22. I love the way this guy handled the failed journalist George Stephanopoulos. He would not bite George's continued pressure to talk about Trump. He talked about what Americans want to talk about, which is anything but Trump.
    I will look further into this man.

  23. I want to restore trust in the institutions of democracy, but don't ask me to defend them when my fellow Republicans attack them. Ho hum.

  24. George got destroyed. Fuckin idiot liberal media.

  25. Why TF is he asking him about Trump .. he isn't Trump's lawyer he isn't being persecuted for anything along with Trump?! why is he soooo worried about Trump but not one word about Corrupt current president ?? o wait ORANGE MAN BAD Lmmfao
    this is the most ridiculous embarrassing interview ive seen in a bit & ABC shouldn't even have posted it but I'm going to enjoy laughing at it !!
    ClownNewsNetwork

  26. It's almost impossible to watch these interviews with these partisan fake journalists they literally could care less about anything else in this world that's going on we have so much going on in this country that is not good it's all bad and they refuse to talk about it All they want to do is to try to make everybody hate Trump and anybody that supports Trump. That's all they want to do that is their in full goal They need to be put out of business They suck they don't do their job They are no longer journalists and have not been for decades scum

  27. This guy handled George so impressively, George was made to look foolish, the only reason I even tuned in is because I heard this candidate needs some attention, he is good , ABC really is garbage and way too partisan

  28. In my view Mr. Burgum chose not to answer a baited question for the right reasons which he effectively articulated. I tuned in to hear what he had to say as a candidate for the republican nomination for president. Full stop. Yet here is George Stephanopoulis baiting him to declare a position on Trump's indictment?! Seriously, who cares? We all know the calculous on declaring your position on Trump. Therefore, why can't major networks resist the urge to ask this type of questioning? Obviously, that is redundant. I'm aware of the reasoning but isn't it past time that mainstream news media begins to give viewers the credit they deserve by prioritizing content quality over rating baiting?  

    How are voters supposed to begin to evaluate potential nominees if we can't get past Trump and all his baggage. STOP doggedly pandering please. ABC could take a lesson from many republican candidates, wink wink, "we know it is wrong and illegal but we are not going to answer your obvious question because you know who will come after us".
    Don't ask and they don't have to answer and get on with the business of what REALLY matters! The complex range of issues facing our country and dysfunction in DC!!

    If ABC hasn't figured this out by now they seriously never will! If you are going to claim yourself a legit news program stop filling programming with lazy, opportunist Trump bashing. The viewing public has formed their opinion on Trump either way at least two years ago if not on January 6, 2021. We ARE more than ready for substantive debate and coverage regarding the candidates and issues effecting citizens daily lives. Like those Burgum brings up in his response.

    If that is the most relevant, thought provoking use of air time that ABC can come up with then please leave this dull version of GS on GMA where he may pander to the apathetic mainstream masses.

    A moderate democrat weighs in

  29. ABC news and George are pathetic

  30. THE MEDIA IS OBSESSED WITH TRUMP

  31. Who the hell says "twenty-four BY seven"? Is he a robot? Or just reading the script written by PR flaks and apparently never heard the phrase "twenty-four seven" before??!? He's just another spineless GOP terrified to say anything negative about King Baby/President Fake Bone Spur. GTFOH. Glad George pressed him on this!!!
