LEESBURG, Va. (AP) — The final-days sprint to Super Tuesday has erupted into a feud over a white supremacist as Donald Trump's Republican rivals scramble to halt the billionaire New York businessman from becoming an "unstoppable" force in the 2016 presidential contest.
Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio continued to hammer the GOP front-runner's character and lack of policy specifics in a series of attacks Sunday while courting voters across the South. But it was Trump's refusal to denounce an implicit endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke that dominated the narrative less than two days before Republican voters across 11 states head to the polls.
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.
