AUGUSTA, Maine — Gov. Paul LePage endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday, saying his bombastic style matches that of the billionaire businessman.

“I was Donald Trump before Donald Trump became popular, so I think I should support him since we’re one of the same cloth,” he told conservative radio host Howie Carr.

It came the same day New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed Trump. LePage endorsed Christie until he dropped out of the presidential race earlier this month, and the Maine governor said he hasn’t talked to Trump, but discussed the endorsement with Christie.

The decision quickly gained national attention on Friday: Vox’s headline was “America’s Trumpiest governor just endorsed Donald Trump.”

1. Doesn't surprise me at all

that a couple of mean, authoritarian bullies like LePage and Christie would endorse one of their own kind.

3. Birds of a feather...

Blustering bullies endorse a blustering bully.

by calling Rubio a "choke artist"

Veep, attorney general? He's toast in NJ so this must be his attempt at job hunting.

12. It's more about him hating Rubio

If he hurts Rubibot in the process, so much the better.

Now supported by David Duke, Christie - and LePage. All necessary ingredients for making a shit demon, or something.

Having grown up the smallest kid in my class, I'm a bit sensitive to reprobates like LePage, Christie and Trump.
