Baker, who was adopted to appointment and has absolute as a abstinent Republican, has taken affair with the party’s arch presidential candidates this acclamation cycle. He has criticized Donald Trump’s “reprehensible” comments about Muslims and women and said Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz accept not apparent an adeptness to coact with others.
This year’s GOP accident is acceptable to be decidedly arguable accustomed the achievability of a contested convention. Trump has warned there could be riots if he is not called as the nominee. Other abstinent Republicans, including New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and above Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, accept aswell said they do not plan to attend.
The accommodation is a abrupt about-face compared to above-mentioned Massachusetts governors, who generally enjoyed above advantage in antecedent affair conventions. Gov. Deval Patrick gave speeches at the Democratic National Assemblage in 2008 and 2012, Gov. Mitt Romney batten at the Republican National Assemblage in 2004, and Gov. Paul Cellucci addressed Republicans in 2000.
