Ummm, didn’t Lepage endorse Trump yesterday?
“At a meeting of Republican governors the next morning, Paul R. LePage of Maine called for action. Seated at a long boardroom table at the Willard Hotel, he erupted in frustration over the state of the 2016 race, saying Mr. Trump’s nomination would deeply wound the Republican Party. Mr. LePage urged the governors to draft an open letter “to the people,” disavowing Mr. Trump and his divisive brand of politics.”
LePage did indeed endorse Trump yesterday. It will be interesting to see what he has to say, if anything, about the NYT report relating to the Feb. 20 meeting of governors. That is just a week ago.
The governors meeting was on February 20th I believe; LePage didn't endorse until the 26th. And he didn't endorse until Christie did. Maybe he sees the handwriting on the wall? Or maybe LePage thinks his unpopularity will help take Trump down.
... LePage didn't say if he was considering endorsing Bush, but [Boston-area radio talk show host Howie] Carr repeatedly pointed out that the Bush family had supported him, with Barbara Bush filming an ad for LePage late in the 2014 election.
Read the article, lots of juicy stuff, including LePage suggesting that he would run for US Senate if Trump is president.
“Ummm, didn’t Lepage endorse Trump yesterday?”
Ayuh. Apparently Governor Lepage saw the handwriting on the wall and decided that if you can’t beat ‘em then you should join ‘em.
