Tom Coburn: Rubio 'Trustworthy' and Electable, Cruz Not 'Effective' Working with Others, Trump Carni
Breitbart ^ | 3/10/2016 | John Hayward

He said Rubio was the most “trustworthy” and electable of the candidates, while Cruz has difficulty getting things done and would have too much difficulty winning support from voters who didn’t wholeheartedly agree with his ideas, and he dismissed Trump as a “carnival barker.”

Despite Rubio's perilous standing in the polls, on the eve of the crucial winner-take-all contest in his home state of Florida, Coburn remained convinced he was the strongest candidate for the general election.

"I look at a person's heart, I look at how they voted, I look at whether I know them or not… and I'm out to win," said Coburn. "Here's one thing I know without a doubt: that if Marco Rubio is our candidate, we win. I don't think you can say that about anybody else for sure."

Cruz can’t work with others. He insults them.

Goodbye Mr. Coburn.

He’s been circling the drain for a while now. Retire and disappear already.

Works for me!

Almost all of them are Establishment prostitutes anyway. Over the past 30 years the big donors have purged the ZRepublican Party of conservatives.

Coming from Coburn, this constitutes the best recommendation a principled conservative could receive for refusing to “work with” the Republicans who, consistently, have handed Obama tyrannical legislative victories over “We, the People”!

Cruz Not 'Effective' Working with Others

That's a positive attribute for a republican president today considering the gang of crooks, clowns and pandering idiots in the congress and senate. The same people who have run the country into the ground in the last 70 years.

The author probably considers people like John McCain and Lindsey Graham 'Effective' Working with Others and look at the damage they have done.

We don't need another wimpish, spineless compromiser, we need a strong willed believer in the US Constitution.

I think it's a virus in the water in DC.
