And I can’t imagine this guy’s part of the GOP future. You do have to wonder what is going on in Maine when a clown like Governor LePage is making statements like these, courtesy Steve Benen on MaddowBlog:
LePage starts by saying he wants Trump “to show some authoritarian power,” which is obviously antithetical to our system of government at the most basic of levels. The governor then endorses “the rule of law,” which pretty directly contradicts the call for “authoritarian power” he mentioned just seconds earlier.
Then, note how the governor, moment[s] after calling for a chief executive to show “authoritarian power,” complains that President Obama operates independently too much, which in turn has pushed the United States towards “anarchy.”
Based on a lot of other statements he’s made, you have to seriously wonder if he can follow a logical line of reasoning. He seems to be the epitome of “Feel, don’t think.”
