How Doug Burgum plans to disrupt the GOP debate & scale his campaign

This coming Wednesday, something big is happening in Milwaukee: the
first Republican presidential debate. 

On this week’s episode of Playbook Deep Dive, host & Playbook co-author
Ryan Lizza talks with North Dakota Governor & GOP presidential candidate
Doug Burgum about how he hatched one of the most innovative schemes in
memory to qualify for Wednesday's GOP debate; how he’s preparing to
compete on the stage with big leaguers like Ron DeSantis and Donald
Trump – if Trump shows up; how his background as a conservative in the
tech world informs his worldview; and why one photograph of him cleaning
a chimney in a tuxedo changed his life.
