Wow, has to be a broken ankle or something if he can't stand. How hard is he going playing pickup basketball with his staff?!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

My 1st reaction: Nice invented excuse not to attend.
2nd reaction: Did the ball hit his balls ?

If it wans't for any medical report I would still think one of the above had happened.

I don’t know why I find this especially hilarious. Will he be seated for the debate? zoomed in? Burgum didn’t scheme and plot to qualify for this!

Despite the wishcasting from his increasingly DERANGED and SAD opponents, Governor Burgum will not only debate (in any condition!), but he will CRUSH this field of WEAKLINGS even if he debates from the HOSPITAL.

One of the other candidates should give the basketball one of their tickets to the debate to troll Doug.

In the Aaron Sorkin universe he impresses everyone with a commanding performance despite being in considerable pain the whole time, and he rockets up the polls afterward.

One of the best tweets ever:




The GOP's training staff is giving false hope to their fans by saying that Hurd, Suarez and Johnson will all be ready by September 27th to play in the debate.

Well yeah, his campaign literally depends on him to be there. His leg could've been blown off and he'd be there.

The phrase “while playing a game of pickup basketball with his staff” already makes him less weird than most of the recent GOP presidential, senate, house, and governor candidates. I give him bonus points if he shows up to debate with an injury.

Burgum showing up to the debate in crutches might be the PR boost his campaign needs.

Achilles tear apparently. Even guys who were stars before struggle to come back from that, requires a lot of rehab and even then usually they can't regain top form. Likely career-ending for Burgum.

Looks like he's not wearing crutches or anything.
