Are you kidding? He wants to make Joe Arpaio part of his Cabinet or something. He will probably run David Duke as his VP.

Arpaio, Duke or LePage?

Arpaio is a xenophobic sheriff down in Arizona who made the news a while ago for his treatment of Latinos .

Duke is the former KKK Grand Wizard who ran unsuccessfully for LA governor and then for Republican candidate for POTUS in '92 or '96 I think.

LePage is the bat-**** crazy GOP governor of Maine ...

All three are real gems ...

LePage has since threatened to move his office out of the statehouse (over a dispute involving a television used to promote his policies in a public space), refused for months to allow his commissioners to testify before legislative committees and ordered state employees not to speak to the state’s largest newspaper chain (a move that earned national attention but went unimplemented).

LePage denounced a Democratic state senator for always wanting to “give it to the people without Vaseline.”

He told schoolchildren that Maine’s newspapers are full of lies and joked about bombing the largest of them, the Portland Press Herald, where I work and have been covering LePage’s antics.
Seems like a really stable guy!

A day after Gov. Paul LePage told a group of high school students that he would “like to shoot” a Bangor Daily News cartoonist, a top advocate for expanding passenger rail to Lewiston-Auburn said that LePage earlier this month said state lawmakers from Lewiston should be “rounded up and executed in the public square.”


A view into the Trump Presidency perhaps?
A view into your idiotic perception. LePage has nothing to do with Trumps policies.

LePage is hands down the craziest and dumbest governor in America. Did you hear about how he let 65 bills become law by accident, because he didn't know the pocket veto rules?

Rumor has it that Trump is planning on appointing Dennis Rodman as Ambassador to North Korea.

I see, my perception is idiotic? My perception of reality? My perception that concurs that LePage is erratic? My perception that Trump and LePage are friends and seem to have the same public persona?

If you think that defines "idiotic," you might want to get a new dictionary.

Yes, exactly like Jeremiah Wright. So, when is Mr. Trump going to ex-communicate his plump butt?
