John Boehner Calls Ted Cruz A ‘Jackass’ At Fundraiser
The Daily Caller ^ | 8/27/15 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 08/27/2015 11:58:46 AM PDT by roses of sharon

Speaker of the House John Boehner stunned audience members Wednesday evening at a Colorado fundraiser by referring to Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz as a “jackass,” two people in attendance tell The Daily Caller.

At a Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, the Ohio Republican quipped that he likes how Cruz’s presidential campaign keeps “that jackass” out of Washington, and from telling Boehner how to do his job.

Just reason #38,887,652 that I will never, EVER support the GOPe again.

I’m done. Finished. Tired of them is too nice a phrase.

Perfect. At least Cantor was given the boot.

Though I’m sure he’s making big bucks as a lobbyist or something.

Yup. These guys are really stubbornly stupid, obstinate.

They must think their corporate sponsors will be able to bail them out forever.

The sorry shame of it all is that Boehner would never call Obama or any of his ilk such a name.

Boehner and McConnell are worth than useless.

They created Trump and will have to live with him.

Boner and Ditch apparently have no idea how much they are loathed by the Base.

How is Boehner going to handle it when Cruz is Senate Majority Leader?

WOW! What a total complete sell-out LOSER Boehner turned out to be!
(I apologize for my earlier postings about how he appeared to be a decent fellow and that we should give him a chance to show us what he could do to stop and then start repairing some of the Obama damage. He’s show us what he could do.... by protecting and enabling Obama’s War on America. John, we put you in a position where you could have really really really done some good. But, alas, you blew it. Totally. What a horrible disappointment.

My guess is he was drunk at the time.

A friend of ours played golf with him and said by 10 a.m. he was buzzed.

The smartest Jackass in the Room then, eh John?

Boner is such a Douche. I find it amazing that I am talking about Republicans the same way I talk about Democrats.

I guess I should thank Boner and Mitch The Turtle for getting me to this point.

Is the Speaker fundraising for Democrats or Republicans?

Yes.

DANG!

I’d rather be a “jackass” as donkeys are hard working than a drunk who has accomplished nothing.

Boehner despises legal immigrants and their brilliant children.

You got that right FRiend. In my opinion, the Weeper of the House is simply slipping deeper into alcohol induced dementia.

It doesn’t mean he isn’t responsible for his insane babblings, but it does explain them.

And he needs to be ousted, the sooner the better.

What a gift!!! Boehner has gifted Cruz! You’re absolutely correct!

Frankly, if I may say so, Trump has so successfully demonized the deservedly demonized Republicans who are over-running the House and Senate that Boehner is heard for miles, yelping.

To see Cruz just keep on keeping-on, and standing on principle, and Trump exposing the real a$$es as incompetents and puppets, Boehner has to be quite tight by now and gone completely apocalyptic!

Nice.

Tandem, baby, tandem.

See my post #55, I’ll bet Boehner’s liver has already signed up for ObamaCare in hopes of putting off the inevitable death panel review.

Boehner is losing it...actually he lost it a long whjile ago. it is just becoming painfully apparent now to anyone.

Ted Cruz is willing to take on the establishment and demand that congress respect the constitution and use their constitutional authorities...including Boehner himself.

Boehner is too busy going along to get along, and protecting his own establishment power base. His own actions and unwillingness to stand will be his ultimate undoing.

Yeah, how dare Cruz not sell out his principles and become an Obama lapdog? It’s sheer insanity. /s
