Marco Rubio is adding another name to his growing list of Senate endorsements with the backing of Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander.
Alexander said Rubio would be a "strong and effective president" and touted the Florida senator as "the conservative candidate who can inspire us, win the election and lead our country."

Alexander said he had "watched Marco up close" in the Senate and touted his work on a handful of legislative issues.
"I have seen him take the lead in passing new laws to impose tough new sanctions on Hezbollah terrorists, and to get rid of incompetent managers who weren't doing their jobs to help veterans. He has proposed good new ideas for giving students more options for college," he said....

Lamar Alexander is the Chair of the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pension. He is the main politician pushing common core and the federalization of Education. If Rubio is elected President you can bet he will be Secretary of Education and that would be very bad news.
