“And, so what happens is, there becomes less confidence in the Congress and its ability to do its job.”
CORRECT, because you are a bunch of quisling rat bastards, which is why there was such a HUGE and Overwhelming number of Regular Americans sent to CONGRESS, to replace all you treasonous bastards.
“Coburn is the perfect example of a decent man who became thoroughly corrupted by the Washington DC political machine.’
Excellent point. I saw it happen to Santorum in PA.
Coburn has lost his mind... spending time in congress does something to the brain... they join the club and everything goes haywire.
Cruz did not join that club.

Coburn is a great man of impeccable integrity. But for a variety of reasons, he is lined up on the wrong side of the divide in the Republican Party.
His judgment is simply wrong on how we move forward toward a Conservative coalition. Problem is that his reputation and credibility in Oklahoma are sufficient to turn elections and we need to start developing the ability to overcome that now.
The Conservative was leading and would have won the election to replace Tom in the Senate--Coburn reversed the result by endorsing the more liberal candidate.
His House District which runs the entire North South border of the state on the East side is represented by a Liberal, Markwayne Mullen who should have been replaced in the last election.
In 2010 and again in 2014, the people of the United States voted overwhelmingly for a conservative change of direction and got nothing. The Republican proceeded to nominate another Liberal for President in 2014 and Republican Leadership continued to run legislation to the left, supporting Democrat priorities.
Yes, it is difficult for Cruz to establish a voting Republican majority in Congress--but his efforts are highlighting the fact that about half of the so called Republicans in Congress are Liberals whose views line up pretty well with the Democratic mainstream--in order to change the direction, we need to replace Liberal Republicans with Conservatives.
The people of the Second Congressional district in Oklahoma who are Conservative need to wake up to the fact that their member of Congress, Markwayne Mullen, is a Liberal and throw him out and replace him with a Conservative. Right now they don't have a candidate and they need to be encouraged to find one.
Dittos! In Ted Cruz we finally have the conservative candidate I have been dreaming about all my life...But will conservatives not be fooled but trumps, or others and VOTE for him. There is still time but we will see.
Pretty much...
Senator Coburn, please feel free to show us where Ted Cruz ever said that. We'll wait.
At least the liberals are honest about their intentions. I utterly loath these lying RINOs.
