BOEHNER LIKES TRUMP, SAVAGES CRUZ

The Republican establishment is getting jiggy with the idea of nominating Donald Trump.

How jiggy? Former House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday told a crowd at Stanford University that he was “texting buddies” with the celebrity businessman and would have no trouble voting for him in the fall.

According to the school’s student newspaper, Boehner “accepted Trump as the presumptive Republican nominee,” though he declined to endorse Trump’s specific policies.

As for the remaining obstacle to Trump’s takeover of the GOP, Boehner sounded rather Trump-like himself.

“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

This is why people loathe politicians. Boehner is now covering his bases and like a good hyena he is scavenging for what he can get. Still it is an indication how the establishment is thinking and they expect Trump to win.

Interesting right?

Sounds like Cruz has little to go back to with all the bridges burned.

This is less “he likes Trump” and more “he hates Cruz.”

Of course they expect Trump to win. At this point, it is a perfectly reasonable assumption.

Cruz needs to grow up and bow out.

Establishment hacks hate on Trump — “See, Trump is anti-establishment”
Establishment hacks hate on Cruz — “See, Cruz cannot make deals and everybody hates him”

That’s nice, John.

But don’t think we’re going to forget who sold us down the river all those years.

As for Mr. Cruz, he’s in a flat spin for sure.

This is the nail in the coffin for the establishment.
Per Trumps speech yesterday.

Aside from the “song of globalism” quote, the greatest point of that part of the speech is this...

“The nation-state remains the true foundation of happiness and harmony.”

And I want to see people like Mark Levin argue against it? Why? Because of this!!!!

“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influences...the jealousy of a free people ought to be consistently awake; since history and the experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.” George Washington.

We need yo move away from Mitt Romney’s failed movement of dumbness and allow Trump to focus on Obama and Hillary again. Ever since March 3rd (when Mitt Romney had to show us how stupid he is) Trump has had to focus more on Republican dumbness... When Trump was calling Obama out he was actually making the country and the world more safe real time... Because of Romney’s dumbness the country and the world is less safe.
