For the last couple weeks, it's been profitable to donate to North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum's presidential campaign. New donors stood to gain a handsome profit of $19, since those who sent at least $1 were promised a $20 Visa or Mastercard mailed to their address by the Burgum campaign in exchange for their donation.
Burgum's gift card giveaway: $20 gift card for $1 campaign donation
He needs 40,000 donors to be able to debate in millwakee....The gift card giveaway has cost the campaign hundreds of thousands, but it helped Burgum cross the 40,000 unique-donor threshold to help him secure a microphone at the first Republican presidential primary debate in Milwaukee next month. There, he would have a chance to reach his largest audience yet. Burgum's small donors skyrocketed after the new promotional ploy: within just 48 hours of starting the promotion last week, the campaign had 20,000 new donors
One strategy that generated attention and elevated Burgum to qualifying for the Aug. 23 GOP debate in Milwaukee was offering a $20 gift card to people who donated $1 to his presidential campaign, which critics blasted as buying support. Some used their gift card money to donate to President Joe Biden's reelection campaign.
Burgum, 66, was born in Arthur, North Dakota which is northwest of Fargo. He attended Stanford University, where he earned a master’s degree in business administration.
In the 1980s, he and his relatives - including his grandparents who owned an agriculture business - bought Great Plains Software, a software company that was eventually purchased by Microsoft for $1.1 billion in 1997.
Most of Burgum's fundraising comes from his own pocket with a $10.2 million personal loan to the campaign.
He's been a major underdog before.
When Burgum first entered politics as a gubernatorial contender in 2016, he was a longshot trailing by 49% in the GOP primary against a popular attorney general.
He won that election by 20%, largely running as an outsider in the year that Trump first captured the Republican nomination for president.
Right now he is a plus 100,000 so 1000=1 20.00 nets 20k if he pulls this off....

Anyway the way my mind works is if I gave him a dollar he send me a visa gift card for 20.00 I could convert yo bit coin and fund an off shore account to bet he won the presidency... if he wins the nomination then I could hedge with democratic candidate and .ake money no matter how this turns out....
If he doesn't win nomination will I am out a buck...
Best of America PAC said in a release on Tuesday that it is launching a national television and radio ad campaign that will start airing Wednesday. The ads highlight Burgum’s record in business building a billion-dollar company and as governor pushing for tax cuts and term limits for state officials.
