John Boehner’s Grudge
National Review ^ | April 28, 2016

Posted on 04/29/2016 6:05:05 AM PDT by reaganaut1

We get it. John Boehner doesn’t like Ted Cruz. In a witless cheap shot, Boehner called him “Lucifer in the flesh” at an event at Stanford University. Boehner’s attitude is widespread among Republican insiders who are foolishly allowing personal ill will to cloud their reasoned judgment about who, among the candidates left in the GOP race, is the best representative of conservative principles and policies, and about who would be the best candidate in the upcoming general election.

On both counts, Cruz is the obvious choice. Ted Cruz is a constitutional conservative dedicated to reducing the outsized federal government to its proper size and functions, and to restoring to the states and the people as much freedom as possible. This has been the core of his message throughout his career, and throughout this campaign. Cruz is an outspoken opponent of abortion, a dedicated defender of the constitutional right to religious liberty, and a staunch advocate of the right to keep and bear arms — positions that he has considered carefully and that he can defend articulately. He has assembled a thoughtful, capable team of advisers to guide him. If he were president, we would have a good shot at getting a stronger economy, a Supreme Court with a less grandiose conception of its role, a less centralized health-care system, and a more sensible foreign policy.

And he is a disciplined candidate who has built an impressive campaign operation. Head-to-head polling shows him running within the margin of error against Hillary Clinton.

By Boner standards, it was Mencken quality. Pretty true in the NWO Luciferian sense.

Boehner apparently did not get the “stop Trump” memo.

Cruz is the last best hope of The Cheap Labor Express

I support Cruz and wish Boehner had kept his mouth shut, but I’ll give him this much — “Lucifer in the flesh” is a memorable phrase.

The real Boehner is out: a bitter old drunk. GOPe has a lot to answer for his installment as Speaker.

Boehner knows Lucifer in the flesh alright. In fact they're golfing buddies.

About as memorable as Bobby Knight praising Truman for dropping the bomb...in 1944. Yeah, I caught that. Doesn’t matter, though, facts change from day to day in TrumpWorld.

It’s the Washington Good Old Boys Club against us. I’ll bet they do a lot of laughing at us while they’re out there beating their balls around. The Founding Fathers never intended for the government to be that way.

I find it curious that we have never heard Boner call Obama “Lucifer in the flesh.”

Except that Bobby Knight didn’t actually say that.
Here is the complete video

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/28/politics/donald-trump-bobby-knight/

He compared Trump to Truman. But then I guess Cruz supporters can’t watch the entire video.

I saw it on Morning Joe this morning. He said Truman dropped the bomb in ‘44. Just Bobby being Bobby.

Bonehead Boehner, Dorkbama the Muslim, the Hillsbeast et al....

What dose of gamma rays created these freaks and how do we prevent the creation of such sludge in the future?

And equally important...where is the handle which flushes these floating feces?

Boehner is everything that is wrong with D.C. It is a badge of honor that he hates Cruz, and he only hates Cruz because Cruz held him and other GOP sellouts accountable! Why some conservatives deserted Cruz, the real anti-establishment outsider, in favor of Trump is really beyond me! It really makes no sense.
