In the excerpt, Boehner didn't hold back when assessing his new colleagues, saying that when he tried to offer the freshmen lawmakers guidance about being in Congress, his advice "went straight through the ears of most of them, especially the ones who didn't have brains that got in the way."
Boehner also assigned some blame to conservative media outlets, especially Fox News, in incentivizing flashiness and outrage over substance, which he said made it harder for him to govern his caucus effectively.
By 2013, Boehner wrote, "the chaos caucus in the House had built up their own power base thanks to fawning right-wing media and outrage-driven fundraising cash."

THIS is why he put only moderate pantywaists in committee chairmanships and in leadership (like Cathy McMorris-Hyphen of WA).
THIS is why over 50 Republicans decided to retire before 2018, to give the House back to the democrats.
THIS is why Obamacare wasn't repealed and Paul Ryan specifically prohibited wall funding in omnibus bills.
Etc.
The Ruling Oligarchy HATE conservatives and conservatism. They consider it icky.
We struck a blow against them, first by removing Boehner's chosen successor Eric Cantor. Then through Mark Meadows' motion to vacate the chair, we removed Boehner. Then we elected Trump (the horror!)
They've been out for blood for years, but we know the game and all their tricks and worthless men like Boehner can write their books and drink their wine all they like. Their power is at an end.
Name one.
Yep, and a moron could even be the Speaker of the house, as you so aptly proved. And now we have an imbecile in the White House - thanks in part to your policies, Johnny.
Is Boehner exhibit A?
It's hard to believe anyone would fail to ask this clown the right direction for the country to proceed.
Is Boehner announcing his candidacy?
Old tired drunk who got a multi-million dollar advance to vent his anger about being kicked out of the job of Speaker.
This coming from this Boehner sissy cry baby drunk.
Biggest pussy to ever be a Speaker...Yes, Pelosi at least has balls.
The drunken amoral Globalist conman / POT Lobbyist / Chamber of crony capitalist whore .
“John Boehner: in 2010 a Republican could be a ‘total moron’ and still be elected in the midterms”
John Boehner is a’total moron’
There, fixed it
He may are may not be correct.
One thing we do know for sure is that spineless crybaby sots can rise to the level of Speaker.
His candidacy for what?
The Supreme Soviet?
The president’s party usually loses seats in the mid-term elections. This isn’t news.
He could be a total moron and become Speaker of the House, too.
I often wonder what it would be like to have a Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer type leader in the Republican Party, not their ideology but their political will.
“John Boehner: in 2010 a Republican could be a ‘total moron’ and still be elected in the midterms”
Right, same as always.
Boehner wanted the 2010 newcomers to play ball. He was and is garbage.
The McCainiac Democrats in the Republican Party HATED the TEA Party movement that primaried “chosen” favorites.
Have a big ol' three fingers of bourbon on the rocks with it too.
Name one? Justin Amash.
