Opinion of Charlie Baker

[RINO Tom]

Massive FF

[RINO Tom]

For some reason, RINO Tom always comes to my mind when his name is mentioned.

So FF?

Anyway, I'd guess your FF/HP rankings would correlate very highly with the abortion issue, no?

[RINO Tom]

Current day Republican = HP

True, you would have just LOVED the old Republicans!!

He's definitely good among Republicans and is pretty tolerable, but I still would never vote for him. Massachusetts should be under unified Democratic control.

Massachusetts disagrees.

No they don't. They just didn't want that unified government to be under Martha F**king Coakley.

Given the fact they've mostly elected Republican governors, almost certainly as a check on the legislature, I'd say it goes beyond hating that lady.  I imagine I'll be proven right when Baker beats whomever the Dems throw up against him next.

Generic RINO. HP.

You can be a "moderate" without being a total clown like Baker, Hogan, Rauner, Huntsman, et al.
Jeb Bush is a good example. Hell, even Sarah Palin was a better "moderate" Republican governor in many regards than the current crop.

But what about... fiscal conservatism, you RINO!

Seriously though... I agree with you, but to be fair these guys basically have to govern like Democrats or they'll be voted out of office.

You and Santender probably have a totally different and completely ridiculous threshold for "governing like a Democrat."  There is nothing remotely Democrat-like about how Baker governs just because he's not trying to restrict abortion access.
