Time and again, each of Connecticut&#39;s Republican candidates for governor has demonstrated that when it comes to issues from health care to workers&rsquo; rights to women&#39;s reproductive rights, they have Donald Trump&#39;s back, not Connecticut&#39;s.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Look no further than Mark Boughton, who the Connecticut GOP endorsed today. Boughton is against a woman&#39;s right to make decisions about her own body with her doctor. He wants to take away collective bargaining for Connecticut workers.
