Yep, LePage’s endorsement is smelling more like GOPe set-up.
I don't think it is. LePage is a political neophyte himself, and in the current presidential race, favored Christie, in part (he says) because Christie is a governor, and in part because Christie is outspoken. LePage is outspoken too. Hardly a week goes by that he doesn't step on his own crank.
The Bush family is New England royalty. They are carpetbaggers in Texas and Florida. At any rate, I'm sure LePage is grateful for Bush support over his opponents in the race for the Blaine House, but I don't think he feels he owes them. I also don't think that Trump would find a place for LePage in a Trump administration. LePage is more of a dumb but hardworking hick.
