It's John Boehner, who announced his plans to resign as Speaker of the House on Friday.

Caught by some reporters following his speech at the conservative “Values Voters Summit” in Washington, D.C. Saturday, the South Carolina senator was both hopeful and concerned about the aftermath of Boehner’s decision.

“It’s a fresh start, and what’s the goal here? The goal here is to move the needle,” he said. “I hope we can have a relationship with the new Speaker that will allow us not to shut down the government, keep the conservative agenda alive, and focus on winning in 2016.”

...

“The worst possible outcome here is that the Speaker of the House resignation leads to a meltdown of the Republican Party that prevents us from winning in 2016,” Graham said.

...

Asked about former GOP candidate Scott Walker’s plea for those still running who are doing poorly to drop out, Graham retorted, “I agree, they should all drop out and get behind me!

Mr Magoo is just messing his pants because, logically, he should be next. Sooner rather than later.

Time for the embalmed useless ones to make room for doers...

Get behind you? Okay, Graham needs to stop with this sexual harassment immediately. Not cool, Linds. Trigger warning, Bill Cosby, Bill Cosby. Maybe Hillary would get behind you with her broomstick but I doubt the other GOP contenders are interested.

Hi! to upchuck, how’s it going?

I was talking to a gay guy I know the other day about politics. He LOVES Donald (I reminded him that Donald doesn’t play gay) and that his gaydar breaks whenever Linds is brought up.

His advice to Linds was to: “Get out of the closet, he’ll have more room for his clothes.”

OUCH!

Yes, Ms. Lindsay, you are our GOPe broken record of the campaign. But, what does your boyfriend, McBackstabber think? He’s gotten awfully quiet since Trump clipped him in the chomps.

McCain won’t mess with Trump. As dumb as he is, he knows when he is outflanked : )

If Trump had been manning that SAM battery in North Vietnam in '67, he would have hit the bulls-eye, not just knocked down McCain's plane, lol
