Political hacks do what the voters want, whereas a leader does what he personally wants. I wish Boehner were a political hack.
“whereas a leader does what he personally wants”
your definition is not of a leader but of a dictator.
A leader has people following him due to his vision and charisma. Boehner has neither.
He follow political whims he likes, or is a political hack.
NOOOO .political hacks follow conventional wisdom like robots you could not be more wrong.
