LePage's about face on Trump is one of the odder facets of this oddest of election cycles.

Less than a week before endorsing him, Gov. Paul LePage urged fellow Republican governors in a closed-door meeting to condemn presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, the New York Times reported Saturday.

It’s a schizophrenic twist made public just after LePage’s Friday endorsement of Trump, the billionaire businessman who the governor has criticized in the past, and a potential example of the campaign horse-trading over the past week.

At a meeting last Saturday with Republican governors in Washington, the Times reported that LePage “erupted in frustration” over Trump’s rise, urging governors to draft a letter “to the people” that condemned Trump and his politics.

His idea, however, didn’t go anywhere. Then, on Friday, LePage became the second governor to endorse Trump hours after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who LePage backed and campaigned for until he dropped out of the presidential race earlier this month.

Consider: in 2012 Romney actively sought Trump's endorsement and spoke very highly of him as a businessman and as an individual.

Today Romney trashed Trump and criticized his business acumen as completely wanting.

On this thread we have LePage condemning Trump and then endorsing him.

Is it any wonder why politicians are so distrusted and their word seems to mean little or nothing?
