Former Speaker Boehner Blasts Cruz by Stephen Lendman John Boehner minced no words, calling Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh,” adding “I have never worked with a more miserable son-of-a-bitch in my life.” Trump sounds almost mild, calling him “lying Ted…a hypocrite…a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him.” A previous article called him the most despised US senator - arrogant, abrasive, mean-spirited, insufferable and obnoxious, antagonizing friends and foes. His combative style creates enemies. He calls fellow Republicans fake conservatives. Boehner silently blasted him earlier by raising his middle finger, expressing anger and disgust. No senator in memory created more enemies on both sides of the isle. Imagine how world leaders would react to a Cruz presidency. How do you say “son-of-a-bitch” in French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic etc? Boehner said he’ll support Trump if nominated, not Cruz. Earlier he backed Jeb Bush, endorsed John Kasich when he dropped out. “If we don’t have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, I’m for none of the above,” he also said, adding “I’m for Paul Ryan to be our nominee,” current House speaker. Asked about the former speaker’s criticism, Cruz said he let “his inner Trump come out. (He represents) everything wrong and corrupt in Washington.” Last summer, Boehner called Cruz a “jackass.” On CBS News’ Face the Nation, he said he’s a “false prophet.” Cruz and tea party neocons helped end Boehner’s tenure as speaker and longtime congressional member (1991 - 2015), nearly five years in one of the nation’s most influential posts. Former Boehner spokesman David Schnittger said “he generally says what he thinks…and being out of office (hasn’t made him) less inclined to be that way.” He ridiculed Hillary Clinton, saying “(o)h, I’m a woman. Vote for me.” He called his “proudest accomplishment…walking out of there the same jackass I was 25 years before.” On Thursday, Cruz tweeted: “Tell me again who will stand up to Washington? Trump, who’s Boehner’s ‘texting and golfing buddy,’ or Carly & me? America’s money-controlled political system gives voters no acceptable choices. Names and faces change. Everything stays the same.

He sounds as disgusting as a Jew.

Believe it or not, this is black gold, Texas tea, crude oil. Insiders have refused to diss much less bash each other for at least 25 years. it has had the desired effect of lulling the sheeple into a false sense of complacency and equivalency. This is yet another dividend of the Trump phenom -- he is the first outspoken contender in ages, others don't want to get shown up for the worthless colorless shills they are, they start cursing each other...... mebbe even saying what they actually think. Just a few of 'em, but it could grow. Since it's the first wave each instance is like a thunderclap and bound to cause >TILT< just right in people's pinball machine heads. No, I don't like seeing them use such language, but everything's a compromise anymore. Why don't I like it? Because it sets a terrible example for youth, Trump's cases included.
