Former U.S. House Speaker John Boehner
sat down with students at Stanford University for an in depth,
no holds barred interview about his time in office. When it came
to the topic of current presidential candidates, Boehner was
unusually frank about U.S. Senator Ted Cruz:
When specifically asked his opinions on Ted Cruz, Boehner made a
face, drawing laughter from the crowd.
Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “I have
Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost
everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a
bitch in my life.”
OUCH! That’s going to leave a mark. Would Boehner suck it up and
vote for Ted Cruz if he somehow pulled out the nomination? Nope:
Boehner for the most part accepted Trump as the presumptive
Republican nominee, though he did express his surprise at the
candidate’s success. While he did not praise Trump’s policies,
the Speaker did say he would vote for Trump in the general
election if he becomes the Republican nominee. The former
Speaker said he would not, however, vote for Cruz.
It is stunning how many people who truly know Ted Cruz openly
and loudly despise Ted Cruz. |
