Wasn’t Coburn the guy Trump erroneously quoted as slandering Cruz?
False attribution of a quote, but Coburn did accuse Cruz of alienating his peers in the Senate.
I kind of remember that, Coburn was emphatic. As always Trump supporters think everyone feels like they do. If Trump is the nominee I think it would be a great start to a new party, cause the GOP WILL HAVE LEFT ME.
Off topic, saw last night the Donald has tweeted over 100 times about Megyn Kelly and her awfulness. That is what happens if you don’t kiss his ring.

Ex-Sen. Tom Coburn Slams ‘Cruz Effect’ For Creating False Hopes About Congress
[snip]Former Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn slammed what he called “the Cruz effect” — saying Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s rhetoric and the Texas senator’s inability to follow through on his promises have caused great disenchantment among Americans toward Congress.
“I call it ‘the Cruz effect,’” Coburn, a Republican who retired last year after 20 years in the Senate, told Sirius XM host Pete Dominick on Thursday. The interview was reported by BuzzFeed News.
“When you tell people you can accomplish something that you can’t — for example, shutting down the government over the Affordable Care Act,” Coburn said.
“When, in fact, you promise people in your speeches and your talk that we can do this, and — by dinghy — we’re gonna get rid of the Affordable Care Act, and all we have to do is shut down the government.”
“Well, that’s one thing to tell ‘em that,” Coburn continued. “It’s a whole other thing to be able to accomplish that, and build a coalition that once you shut it, that it doesn’t get opened up till you win.”
