Mass. GOP Guv Says He Won't Back Trump As Republican 2016 Nom
Talking Points Memo's Livewire ^ | March 2, 2016 | Katherine Krueger

Massachusetts Republican Gov. Charlie Baker joined team #NeverTrump on Wednesday, telling reporters he won't vote for frontrunner Donald Trump in November even if he's the party's nominee.

"I said I wasn't going to vote for Donald Trump yesterday and I didn't, and I don't plan to vote for him in November," Baker said, referring to the state's Super Tuesday primary, which Trump won by a substantial margin.

Asked whether he would cross party lines if Trump secures the nomination, Baker responded in audio posted online by the Boston Globe, "I'm not much of a fan of Hillary Clinton, let's put it that way."

"But I'm not willing to concede with 35 states still to go that he's going to be the Republican nominee," he said. "I'm not willing to concede that the Republican nomination is over."

Trump won seven states on Super Tuesday. Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) was the next closest candidate, winning two states, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) claimed victory in one.

Baker joined a growing contingent of conservatives who say they would rather vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton or a third-party candidate than support Trump in the general election.

I am wide awake now. What took so long for me to wake up and smell the coffee? After the 2010 & 2014 elections, it is crystal clear that career politicians are more subservient to their sugar daddy rich donors than they are to the vast voting masses of Americans.

Pray America is waking.

2ndDivisionVet is just doing his job, which is to push Cruz born in Canada.

Just wait, Cruzers are going to become much more furious attacking Trump, after March 15, when it becomes clear, Cruz does not have a path to nomination without destroying the front runner.
