Anybody else seeing a major resemblance between the two? I live in Maine, and Trump scares me. He is just like Lepage. Yes, it is very fitting that Lepage has already endorsed Trump. Lepage is a far rightist, and as the governor in a very liberal state, he is wildly unpopular. He only got elected because the vote split 5 ways in 2010, and split 3 ways in 2014. Just like Trump, he will say anything to get attention. They both resort to very dirty tricks.

The legislature decided to pass laws to try to have more accountability instead of impeaching him.

I highly doubt Trump put him up for VP, so what your worry ??
