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.”

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

Cruz came to Washington to become president. If he fails, his political career is finished at age 45. That's why he continues to fight when all is lost. He's in denial that it is truly over.

He will return to the Senate powerless and ostracized by everyone. He will not be reelected.

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

Not to worry. Glenn’s got those bases covered. He’ll be hiring Ted for a few hours/week on the radio.

The other question is this: will Goldman keep Heidi on as Managing Director now that Ted has zero chance at the White House?

Cruz keeps getting crazier by the day. He acts as if he can filibuster his way into the White House.

Who gives half a crap about the ravings of a drunken bum and traitor like Boner? He’s half soused all the time. I think he’s just jealous of Cruz, someone a degenerate like himself could never be. I also think someone has paid Boner off in more booze money to say this.

Funny thing, Cruz used to be Boehnner’s attorney

Even more funny is that this morning Lying Ted said he's only spoken to Boehner a couple of times...and made it sound like he's never had any dealings with him at all.

He’s for breathing air and eating food.

Giving this dope that much power over your life only shows that he has just that much power over your life.

What better endorsement could Cruz get than Boehner’s scorn? I’ll proudly vote Cruz in the CA primary.

Right; that’s why Boehner pointed out Biden can still get in the race.
He hates both of them.
