Bryant is more David Vitter/Jeff Sessions than Cochran/Lamar type Republican.

Rand should claim this was his big plan in endorsing Bryant.

“Gov. Bryant’s veto of a bill that 93 Legislative Republicans supported ensures that Common Core will remain in Mississippi schools,” Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said. “SB 2161 ensured that student privacy would be protected, prohibited school districts from administering psychological or socio-emotional surveys, put in state law that PARCC test could not be mandated by the State Department of Education, and created a group of Mississippians (of which the Governor had more appointments than anyone) to create a set of high standards for Mississippi school children.

To put this in simple terms, those that support Common Core are celebrating tonight.”

Gov. Phil Bryant on Thursday vetoed an "anti-Common Core" bill passed by the Legislature, saying it doesn't guarantee the national education standards won't be used in Mississippi schools.

"I remain firmly committed to ending Common Core in Mississippi," Republican Bryant said in a statement on Thursday. "This bill does not accomplish that goal, and I cannot in good conscience sign it into law."
His veto was applauded by tea party and other Common Core opponents, but panned by fellow Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves.
