John Boehner sounded off a litany of insults for Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz Wednesday night, labelling the Texas senator "Lucifer in the flesh" and a "miserable son of a bitch."
"I have Democrat friends and Republican friends," the former House speaker said during a frank on-stage discussion at Stanford University Wednesday. "I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."
Boehner, who retired from Congress at the end of October, also let loose on the two other GOP candidates in the race.
Of his relationship with Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Boehner said that he was "my friend, and I love him" -- but with the caveat that Kasich "requires more effort on my behalf than all my other friends."
Boehner said he was on friendly terms with Republican front-runner Donald Trump, adding that he often played golf with the New York business mogul and billing their friendship as one between "texting buddies."
The ex-congressman seemed to accept that Trump would be the party's nominee and said that he would vote for him if that prediction came to pass. Boehner said he would not, however, cast a ballot for Cruz if the Texas senator won the nomination.
Boehner also weighed in on the Democratic primary contest, according to the Stanford Daily, the university newspaper that first reported Boehner's comments. The former House speaker praised Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders as the most honest politician in the White House race. Of Clinton, who he has known for 25 years, Boehner called her accomplished and smart.

Like my dad says “hard to soar like an eagle when you surround yourself with turkeys”.
When you have someone like Jeff Roe at the very top it rots the whole thing.
That's why we fired you, Boner. You're a two-faced, spineless, self-serving SOB.
Not being able to get along with people is a big problem for a would be leader.
John Boehner is the worst. He is the epitome of the ruling class; entitled, self absorbed, clueless.
But most of all, FECKLESS.
Sounds like JB is just saying what most other Senators are thinking.
Wow. That is appropriate.
What’s amazing to me is guys like Ted just can see what is actually happening. It’s sad. Sad how people get stuck staring at one tree so long they get so cross-eyed they think the fuzzy thing they see is the whole forest. Sad to see Cruz and Kasich so detached from reality.
So he’s a Hillary voter, eh? Not surprised. He spend his whole career as speaking advancing the DNC agenda.
The #NeverCruz and #NeverTrump crazies are infantile whiners. After years of the GOPe crowd (Boehner's cronies) demanding the electorate suck it up and vote for the nominee of the party, each #Crazy"Never"Crew is now promising to support Hillary!!! through their inaction.
That'll show us!
Thanks for the info on jeff Roe. As they say, when you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas.
I like your position. I wish more Freepers would adopt it.
BTZ.
Takes one to know one, Orange Man.
That's Kinder words than Boehner is labeled/described as/is.
Yeah, come on Boehner. Maybe Ted is as you say. But, Hillary, accomplished and smart. This is where the fight always begins. Destroy the guy on your team and praise the absolute fool on the other side as being competent and likable. Good riddance to Boehner, who is as Lucifer always is, deceptive.
What a worthless sniveling POS...
“Maybe Boehner is just mad because he wasn’t chosen as Cruz’s VP. “
It is still not too late, for Kasick’s VP fantasy pick, however.
Cruz ousted Boehner
I guess GOPe you can go after Cruz
He and his wife are enjoying retirement and the Cincinnati night life...
