Mr. Boehner, who stepped down from the speakership last fall, has long whispered to friends that he thinks Mr. Ryan could be the savior of the Republican Party. He told the crowd Wednesday that “anybody can be nominated” at the Republican National Convention.

During the same question-and-answer session in Florida, Mr. Boehner referred to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, another Republican presidential candidate, as “Lucifer.”

The misstep in your thinking is, you think they care about what the people think. Remember, the establishment is out to preserve their own power first.
No, he's been out since the end of October. The seat hasn't been filled yet, though.
Like Cruz or not he certainly has the right enemies.
Makes it certain that threads can be overwhelmed and spammed with virtually no intellectual effort at all.
Craziness. These people are incredibly unworthy.
Hey, don’t get pissy at ME just for telling the truth.
Exactly. They are inflating Cruz to pop his balloon at the convention. They hate the guy.
And that a candidate no regular person has voted for...?
Ryan is death on a stick.
I agree. A Trump / Cruz ticket is the best alternative for the country. Trump will restore the country and make us rich again as Cruz can control the Senate as president of the Senate. The team could potentially serve four terms. Long enough to kill off the crony klepto establishment. I’m writting to Trump and Cruz suggesting they team up.
I know. I know. But my primary interest in my political party is the furthering of my political point of view. I do not give two and a half squats about their power. It would be like an executive at McDonald’s caring about his pension benefits, and letting the quality of the food go to hell (...oh, wait). Don’t listen to your base at your peril.

Lets wait till that happens. Who knows, I might not get pissy at all.
Me too, but what it will take is for Cruz to see Ryan or some other RINO being put forth by the establishment as the alternative to Trump (instead of Cruz himself), and Cruz's odds of winning 1237 to become mathematically impossible.
Orange, drunken, idiot.
WOW!. Im a Trumpster but this gives me reason to like ole Ted a little.
Love the show.
Cruz is eligible for that, as far as I know.
