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

During his 1956 presidential campaign, a woman called out to Mr. Stevenson “Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person!”

Stevenson called back “That’s not enough, madam, we need a majority!”

Boehner is really a conservative. However, there are certain embarrassing photographs. Its all the work of demon rum.

Well, now we know who boehner still abhors. I bet he’s mad that DT didn’t call him this morning. DT called Ryan + McConnell. Does Boehner blame cruz for him losing his position?

I wonder how the Trumpbots feel being in ideological lockstep with Boehner on their opinion of Cruz.

Two things.

Either the Dems have infiltrated the GOP, or the party was thoroughly infiltrated with globalists who are battening on the corpse of the American body politic.

Or both.

I rest my case. (As for the charge that Cruz is somehow endeared by the GOPe donor class, when is really anything •but• that.)

Haha! Take THAT Trumpsters!

Boehner called Cruz Lucifer. Bet he never called your guy anything worse. Hahaha.... We win that anti-endorsement.

Admit it, y’all want him to call your guy Lucifer too... at least that’s one thing we can agree on. That anti endorsement probably gives anyone a better boost than any actual ENDORSEMENT does.

Bonehead’s dementia from abusing alcohol has obviously progressed to the stage of seeing confabulations.

Sad waste of a life.
