Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, asked for his reaction to the resignation of John Boehner, had good things to say about the House Speaker:
"We'll have to see how it plays out," Bush told "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. "I admire John Boehner greatly. He's a great public servant. He left at the apex of his--of his time in service to this--to the country, with the Pope speaking in Congress.
"I think people are going to miss him in the long run, because he's a -- he's a person that is focused on solving problems."
Asked if Boehner's departure is good or bad for conservatives," Bush said he's not sure:
"I think what we need is a conservative president that can work with the Congress. We wouldn't have these problems if you had a president that actually would commit to passing a budget, would commit to a -- you know, repealing Obamacare, reforming our taxes."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also praised Boehner on Sunday: "John Boehner is a very fine person," Pelosi told CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper. "I don't know if I'll miss him," she added. "It depends on what comes next."
Pelosi said Boehner's resignation "is a sign of the disarray in the Republican Party."

Disarray in the Establishment? I’ll take it and still think what is happening is a good thing.
Hey, Jeb. You’re in a hole, dude. You can stop digging anytime now.
Bush learned political-speech (known in the real world as bull poop) very well from daddy and bro. He is so clueless he doesn’t realize the American people have woken up to the lying politicians now.
Not much longer until he loses Mommy’s vote.
I don't have words to express how utterly stupid Jeb sounds.
Jeb, just join the GOPe in keeping your lips firmly affixed to Democrat ass because every time you open your mouth to say something you do a disservice to yourself and your cause.
Who wrote that? It is true.
Let me see if I can find the original. It was posted back in 2011.
Smooth move Jeb, that will really win the votes!
This statement reveals just how ignorant Jeb is.
Jeb GTFO!
In Jeb's defense, one often admires one's role model.
Democrats themselves set the standard for this approach. When the political lineup in Washington was reversed from 1989 to 1992, and Democrats controlled Congress under a Republican president, Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell sent bill after bill to President George H. W. Bush to force vetoes that cast Republicans in an unflattering light. Obama has had to veto only four bills over two terms; the elder Bush was forced to veto 44 bills during his single term, including popular legislation on maternity leave, the minimum wage, civil rights, and curbs on trade with China. George Mitchell achieved this without ever having a filibuster-proof majority. Republicans probably knew then that if they tried to filibuster everything, majority Democrats would have curbed their power. However, minority Senate Democrats today face no such threat. They are repeatedly assured that McConnell's support for the filibuster is absolute. His aides say this reflects McConnell's support for the institution of the Senate, but this is disingenuous. From 1920 to 1970 there was an average of just one filibuster per year; the practice's subsequent explosion has hurt the institution, including in the eyes of voters. Furthermore, if the Framers had wanted the Senate to require a supermajority to do anything at all, they would have said so in the Constitution. They didn't.
Nope, he appeared on Faux News with Mike.. er, Chris Wallace yesterday. The video is at the link and Yeb sounds and looks completely flustered and confused.
The party is in disarray and much of it is due to the ineptitude of the soon-to-be-former Speaker of the House...
Hey Jeb, why do you think you are not going to get a vote from a single real conservative, you loser. GO AWAY!
He doesn’t understand that we have been fed so much bullsh!t we aren’t in any mood to listen to those like him anymore. It really doesn’t matter what he says or does now, frankly.
It would be a lie or a promise that he could/would never finish anyway. Truthfully, I think his consultants, GOPe and the RNC have told him it’s his turn and to just don’t listen to all us pissed off conservatives out here anymore.
He just needs to go out and speak more Spanish so the GOPe can get that mystical Hispanic vote to go with all those moderate independents they’ve been talking about. Unicorns all.
I’ve never seen a RINO candidate destroy themselves so thoroughly before even the first primary!
He isn’t even trying to dupe anyone.
This is the death knell in the Yeb Bush campaign. What a freakin’ meat head.
Here's how that plays out without the self censorship that reveals how politicians really think of these things:
"He's a great public servant. He left at the apex of his-- [uh oh, I shouldn't say power. quick, come up with something else!] ... of his time in service to this -- [is it okay to say "party"? no, that sounds bad. What though? Something patriotic, I guess] ... to the country..."
Holy sh*t! Jeb you need to shut up before you embarrass yourself and your family any more than you already have. You are a useless RINO. Your run for the Presidency is over. So...... STFU!
I think that is the tequila talking.
