Stan Rosenberg apparently won't be Massachusetts Senate President in 2018 – but his fellow state senators are still not saying never. How can that be?

BOSTON — Businessman John Kingston, one of three Republicans angling for the party nod to challenge Democratic U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren in November, recognized on Wednesday the one-year anniversary of the Warren's "nevertheless, she persisted," Senate floor moment with a playful series of statements.
