John Boehner: in 2010 a Republican could be a 'total moron' and still be elected in the midterms

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."

Same guy who secretly worked behind the scenes to get a majority of House Republicans to support Obama’s 2014 Mass Amnesty.

It was only after my #2 political hero of all time (Trump is #1 by the way) defeated Eric Cantor was it stopped. Dave Brat bought this country another 2 years, which allowed Trump to buy us another 4 years. The country is now gone, since we gave away the Senate in the Georgia Runoffs, but those 2 will always be my top political heroes, and allowed my to retire in great shape.

Traitors like Bonehead were complicit in the refusal to stop Obamacare. Tax hikes and Obamacare (itself a tax and cost hike) were why the TEA Party swept in.

Juan McCain never was under Obamacare and on his way to his eternal grave defiantly refused to repeal it, just like an angry a-hole.

Trump did many great things but the best he did was to expose the Uniparty.
A sizable part of the GOP-e is only interested in one thing....making themselves rich.
