This week former Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma jumped into the “Why is Trump winning?” contest and immediately moved to the lead among establishment Republicans.
Coburn’s attack on Donald Trump for his comments on Islam bumped the government of Mexico to number two and the Pope to three. Former presidential candidate Jeb Bush appears to have a lock on fourth place.
Coburn did not elaborate on exactly what behavior he has in mind, but it is clear that to him, the root of the problem of radical Islamic attacks on Americans is in us, not in Islam. We have to change, not Islam. We must become more “welcoming,” more tolerant, more accommodating to Islam’s demands.

Coburn. Odd, incoherent, and strange looking. Perfect GOPe type
Coburn got real squishy and voted to fund obamacare 4 times and illegal amnesty twice. I have no use for him any more.
Help expose this scumbag for what he is!
Trumps winning because he says Islam doesn’t like us.
He said there are too many rapists and murderers among the illegals.
He calls the media liars.
He says obvious things the elite won’t say and try to deny.
I used to like this clown. Now I wouldn’t .... if he was on fire.
The GOPe has exposed itself. They can rot.
He is winning because he gets the most votes.
Thus voters agree with his stated positions
Coburn went in a lot different. He turned, and came out Estab.
“Coburn did not elaborate on exactly what behavior he has in mind, but it is clear that to him, the root of the problem of radical Islamic attacks on Americans is in us, not in Islam.”
And they wonder why people are flocking and voting for Trump... because he is not afraid to say things plainly, expressing what many and most people think.
Put America first, NOT blame America first.

Retiring Sen. Tom Coburn often gave Barack Obama fits on Capitol Hill, but he’s waxing sentimental about his personal friendship with the president on his way out the door.
“I just love him as a man. I think he’s a neat man. You don’t have to be the same to be friends. Matter of fact, the interesting friendships are the ones that are divergent,” Coburn said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday.

“It’s based on the fact that I think he’s a genuinely very smart, nice guy,” the senator said.
He said that he is proud that the country elected Obama, adding that it is another part of what makes the U.S. “special.”
If Senator Coburn did indeed say all of that then it just proves that it’s nearly impossible to stay in Washington D.C. for an extended period and not become corrupted to some extent. Even the best and the strongest start to rot after six years or so.
Did anyone check Coburn’s Garage for some mysterious looking Pods.
He used to be a Conservative’s Conservative.
Someone's going to write a book about all these perversions, and it's going to read like a big, dismal compilation of case histories of a dread, fatal disease in which the outcome is always known, and the only question is whether the patient will continue to live on in some brain-damaged, debilitated state, or just pass from the scene.
I want to find the corruptor and introduce him to Madame Guillotine. (Memo to self: Write note to French Ambassador re whereabouts of Mme G.)
People need to get straight that yes Islam hates America, but not because of anything specific about America. Islam hates infidels, defined as anyone who does not submit to Islam. As evidence, just ask what did 16 year old schoolgirls in Nigeria do to deserve their fate?
The hair, the plane, the women, the sin....lemme see what else.......oh yeah the 12 billion with a capitol BEEEEEEE, REASONS WHY HE DIDN’T HAVE TO RUN.....and then on top of that, he is not taking any money.
Damn I would at least have taken money.
He works hard, 3 or 4 rallies everyday.
Oh yeah, and he doesn’t cry when someone gets mad at getting beaten up AND FIGHTS BACK AND ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO FIGHT BACK!!! And, he certainly doesn’t blame the people who are attacked by communist stinking left wing regressives.
