As a sitting governor in a blue state, Charlie Baker must think he is immune from the upheaval in the Republican Party.
Before his election, Governor Charlie Baker went on record opposing the Common Core national standards. But since he took office, Massachusetts parents have heard barely a word from him about discarding Common Core and restoring the superior Massachusetts standards that the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) jettisoned to obtain a $250 million federal bribe (i.e., Race to the Top funds). As the restoration battle intensifies, Baker is nowhere to be found.
SPRINGFIELD – Hillary Clinton is casting herself as a civil alternative to the insults, bullying, and personal attacks that have consumed the Republican race.

"It really undermines our fabric as a nation. So, I want to do everything I can in this campaign to set us on a different course."
