This is one of those times when breaking news can shed a little more light on the candidates. There have been quite different reactions among the candidates to the news that John Boehner is resigning. Unlike Patrick McGoohan's "Number 6," there really is no mystery as to why Boehner resigned – he was too accommodating of the entire Obama agenda, be it funding Obamacare or the illegal amnesty or now, in his final act, the subsidizing of abortions and the sale of baby parts.
Here's how Jeb Bush reacted, commenting in English on Twitter:
John Boehner dedicated his life to public service. Bringing the Holy Father to Congress was a fitting cap to a great career.
Wrong. He had a terrible career, participating in racking up huge amounts of debt and enabling the Obama agenda. A symbolic visit from the pope changed none of that. From his statement, it is clear that Jeb Bush quite liked Boehner's accommodationist policies.
Now here's how Ted Cruz reacted: he was hysterical with joy, actually joking about Boehner's demise and calling for other establishment politicians to get the boot.
"You want to know how much each of you terrify Washington?" Mr Cruz asked the audience of grassroots evangelical conservative at this annual conference. "Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House. Y'all come to town and somehow that changes."
"My only request," he quipped, "is, can you come more often?"
Clearly, he didn't agree with Bush that Boehner had performed some great "public service" by carrying the water for the Obama agenda.

Marco Rubio was uncomfortable, maybe because he hasn’t been fighting the powers that be and has cowered while others have stepped up. In the Senate, as well as being absent for votes, he has been absent when it is time to stand up to the old guard. Lee and Cruz have been doing the heavy lifting with little help.
Rubio’s overly-sincere and carefully stated presentations are becoming oddly out of touch and almost creepy.
So we know who two are that are useful
The rest are just more of the same
Bush is begging for people not to vote for him. Ok, ok, I agree. I won’t vote for you. Now STFU and go away.
I’ll repeat here a legitimate warning on Boehner and his last 35 days in Congress:
He can still fund Abortion.
He can still pass Amnesty.
THIS IS NOT OVER YET!
We could ask about Boehner what one of the arrogant media asked about Trump a while ago: “What would he do differently if he were a Democrat plant?”
Boehner saw the writing on the wall and, to mix a metaphor, “self deported”.
And I don’t think it helps Beohner’s case for Yeb to remind conservatives that he was responsible for bringing Frankie-boy before Congress. Some conservatives wasted some good, sincere outrage and indignation on Frankie-boy’s behalf, that Hussein had filled the guest list with sodomites, trannies, rogue nuns, and baby murder supporters, because Frankie-boy himself didn’t seem very perturbed by it, to say the least.
Rubio=Gang of 8=traitor.
Oh dear, he wouldn’t want the votes of us neanderthal, pro-life, anti-giving the country away, anti-socialised “healthcare” (from which Congress and their hand-picked favorites are exempt) anyway, so I am more than happy to oblige him by not giving him my vote.
Rubio was creepy from the very start.
Who in their right mind would go to racial supremacist organizations and address them at their events?
Rubio and Perry.
I agree, just like Obozo is going to show us that we ain’t seen nothin’ yet, in the last days of his reign of terror.
Yes, that too. Yet many see him as a viable candidate.
Didn’t Yeb speak before La Raza (”The Race”)?
It wasn’t a complete list.
¡Yeb! is looking pretty much toast at this point.
Tagline ...
Proven liar.
Yeppers.
How in the Sam Hill do these politicians get away with speaking before out-and-proud racist groups like La Raza and Black Panthers (and I would include BlackLivesMatter, as they’re turning out), yet get excoriated as “rayciss” for speaking to the Tea Party?
