Trump baffles with 'stunning reversal' as he endorses candidate he'd slammed as 'RINO'

President Donald Trump left at least one reporter baffled Friday after re-endorsing a candidate he previously abandoned and derided as a “RINO,” or “Republican in Name Only.”

That candidate is Rep. Jeffrey Hurd (R-CO), who last October received a glowing endorsement from Trump in his re-election bid.
