For the umpteenth time Governor LePage made the headlines when he reversed himself and decided to back The Donald to be the Republican nominee for president.
Disclosure: A Bill Buckley conservative, I part ways with the governor on this call because I believe that Trump is unfit for the presidency.
I also believe that LePage has every right to endorse whomever he chooses. His decision is of little or no consequence to anybody but himself — or, as Hillary put it In other circumstances: “What difference does it make?” Like all other citizens, the governor gets to cast only one vote.
LePage’s sudden “evolution” is strikingly similar to Speaker Eves’ overnight conversion from charter-school opponent to compensated supporter.
Some people wear flip-flops on their feet; flip-flops and backflips are politicians’ favorite head games.
