Charlie Baker on Donald Trump: 'I don't plan to vote for him'
The Massachusetts governor would not support Trump, despite endorsing New Jersey governor and Trump supporter Chris Christie.

BOSTON, MA - The morning after Donald Trump's decisive victory in the Massachusetts GOP presidential primary, Gov. Charlie Baker made clear he would not offer his public support or personal vote, should Trump become nominee.
"I said that 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," the popular Republican governor told reporters Wednesday.
The questions came the morning after Trump's sweep of Republicans and many independents in Massachusetts' Super Tuesday primary. It was one of seven wins for the New York billionaire, solidifying his place as party front-runner and greatly increasing his chances of becoming Republicans' 2016 nominee.
