We get it. John Boehner doesnt like Ted Cruz. In a witless cheap shot, Boehner called him Lucifer in the flesh at an event at Stanford University. Boehners 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.

It’s usually a good rule when assessing someone’s character to consider the character of his enemies.
We get it. The NR hates Trump.
Poor John, he was drunk again. He always says stupid shit when he drinks...
How this lover of Obama, Pelosi and Reid could attack a man in the other chamber who he never worked with is beyond me. What a disgusting scumbag.
Cruz doesn’t drink and play golf. Not a good fit for Boner, who values backslapping pals (even if Marxist) over principles.
He does not understand why he was kicked out of office still...
A little bitter, I think
How would the National Review would have written this story.
More idiocy from National Review.
True conservatives vote their principles, others do not.
I thought RINO Boehner sold his soul to the devil...democrats from the day he took office. More so as Speaker of the House.
.
I support Cruz, also- and I found Boehner’s to be a ringing endorsement!
The problem is we aren't electing the idealogue in chief.
The President needs the political skills to move his agenda and that's hard to do when even your own party hates you.
Most politicians are like dung beetles, living off the feces from elephants, such as Trump or Obama. We've all learned over the years that when a DC politician starts talking about "what's good for the country", it's a clear signal to put your hand over your wallet.
Sorry, can’t pull videos at my office.
How does that square with this???

I saw it on Morning Joe this morning. He said Truman dropped the bomb in 44. Just Bobby being Bobby.
“Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl harbor?”
Lucifer in the flesh is a memorable phrase.
= = =
Compare that with:
1 John 4:2
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
And 1 John is NOT John Boehner.
“The problem is we aren’t electing the idealogue in chief.
The President needs the political skills to move his agenda and that’s hard to do when even your own party hates you.”
Bingo!
And it helps to be eligible for the office. (Although that doesn’t seem to matter much anymore...)
I love the “Trump is an outsider” argument. When politicians pour taxpayer money into the trough they always fill their cup, through sweet heart deals, tax abatemens, etc, Trump has been filling his bucket.
