Quote of the Day
“We believe that the way you succeed in public life is by being tough on the issues and soft on the people," Baker said, to applause. "Too much of what goes on these days and passes for public discourse, isn't discourse at all," he continued. "It's just character assassination and questioning people's motives. Stuff that doesn't actually move the commonwealth forward.”
Speaking about partisanship at the Shrewsbury end of summer picnic.
