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."

Bush is like dog sh!t. He will stick around a lot longer than we would like.
I'm starting to think that Jeb actually wants nothing to do with the presidency and is doing all he can to stink up this campaign while maintaining plausible deniability.
Totally right. We elected them to fight Obama. They interpreted their election as a mandate to get along with the Democrats better. If Boehner and McConnell had fought against Obama the way they do against conservatives, Trump wouldn’t be in the race.
That's good for losing another 3% Jeb.
I wonder if Hilary paid him to say that.
He coulda been a contender, but he's a bum.
every day, he proves his instincts are 100% tone deaf and wrong.
I tend to agree. He’s either: 1) 100% tone deaf; 2) doesn’t really want the job (is encouraged by someone else to run); or 3) he really is the total fool he appears to be.
Well we can be grateful his is near the bottom.. which means republican voters aint buying the name recognition bs.
It’s OK...some think Jeb is a “public servant”too, so they naturally don’t understand.
He would! Birds of a feather and all
Jeb Bush has yet to say anything right.
Does this idiot buy shovels by the gross?
He is clueless to what America wants or needs.
Of course he loves him , he loves Obamacare and open borders too
Apparently ¡Yeb! feels the need to burnish his establishment bona fides. Silly ¡Yeb!. That ain’t playin’ this time around.
“I admire John Boehner greatly.” is a remark that only a Joyful Turtle would mean sincerely.
Doc Insular. Unaware of the world around him.
The more Jeb talks, the more I look around for the ghost of Allen Funt.
Jeb, buddy, you really need to stop digging.
