Jeb Bush: 'I Admire John Boehner Greatly'

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, asked for his reaction to the resignation of John Boehner, had good things to say about the House Speaker:

"We'll have to see how it plays out," Bush told "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. "I admire John Boehner greatly. He's a great public servant. He left at the apex of his--of his time in service to this--to the country, with the Pope speaking in Congress.

"I think people are going to miss him in the long run, because he's a -- he's a person that is focused on solving problems."

Asked if Boehner's departure is good or bad for conservatives," Bush said he's not sure:

"I think what we need is a conservative president that can work with the Congress. We wouldn't have these problems if you had a president that actually would commit to passing a budget, would commit to a -- you know, repealing Obamacare, reforming our taxes."

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also praised Boehner on Sunday: "John Boehner is a very fine person," Pelosi told CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper. "I don't know if I'll miss him," she added. "It depends on what comes next."

Pelosi said Boehner's resignation "is a sign of the disarray in the Republican Party."

Disarray in the Establishment? I’ll take it and still think what is happening is a good thing.

Hey, Jeb. You’re in a hole, dude. You can stop digging anytime now.

Bush learned political-speech (known in the real world as bull poop) very well from daddy and bro. He is so clueless he doesn’t realize the American people have woken up to the lying politicians now.

Not much longer until he loses Mommy’s vote.

" Bush told "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. "I admire John Boehner greatly."

I don't have words to express how utterly stupid Jeb sounds.
Jeb, just join the GOPe in keeping your lips firmly affixed to Democrat ass because every time you open your mouth to say something you do a disservice to yourself and your cause.

Let me see if I can find the original. It was posted back in 2011.

Smooth move Jeb, that will really win the votes!

This statement reveals just how ignorant Jeb is.

In Jeb's defense, one often admires one's role model.

Nope, he appeared on Faux News with Mike.. er, Chris Wallace yesterday. The video is at the link and Yeb sounds and looks completely flustered and confused.

The party is in disarray and much of it is due to the ineptitude of the soon-to-be-former Speaker of the House...

Hey Jeb, why do you think you are not going to get a vote from a single real conservative, you loser. GO AWAY!

He doesn’t understand that we have been fed so much bullsh!t we aren’t in any mood to listen to those like him anymore. It really doesn’t matter what he says or does now, frankly.

It would be a lie or a promise that he could/would never finish anyway. Truthfully, I think his consultants, GOPe and the RNC have told him it’s his turn and to just don’t listen to all us pissed off conservatives out here anymore.
He just needs to go out and speak more Spanish so the GOPe can get that mystical Hispanic vote to go with all those moderate independents they’ve been talking about. Unicorns all.

I’ve never seen a RINO candidate destroy themselves so thoroughly before even the first primary!

He isn’t even trying to dupe anyone.

He's a great public servant. He left at the apex of his--of his time in service to this--to the country...

Here's how that plays out without the self censorship that reveals how politicians really think of these things:

"He's a great public servant. He left at the apex of his-- [uh oh, I shouldn't say power. quick, come up with something else!] ... of his time in service to this -- [is it okay to say "party"? no, that sounds bad. What though? Something patriotic, I guess] ... to the country..."

OK FReepers; here's my prediction: Jeb Bush will be out of the race after the South Carolina Primary. AM I RIGHT OR WRONG? Chime in somebody.
