I think he’ll try to block Cruz how he can, without being too obvious about it- unless you believe the theories that Obama has something on Boehner and thus controls and/or blackmails him
Though farfetched, it’s hard otherwise to understand the behavior of this House Speaker... so maybe he’d actually be OK with somebody else doing what he -Boehner- should have been doing
My guess, if Boehner is being blackmailed, is that it has something to do with his pot smoking daughter married to the rasta dude. just sayin.
