Mr Boehner, who was the most intense Republican in United States governmental issues for a period until he surrendered last October, utilized solid dialect when he talked about Mr Cruz amid a discussion at Stanford University.

Boehner referred to Ohio Gov. John Kasich as a “friend”, and said he would vote for Donald Trump, but he would not vote for Cruz if he were the nominee.
Boehner added that while he would vote for Trump in a general election, he would not vote for Cruz.
Cruz, campaigning in IN, told reporters that Boehner “allowed his inner Trump” to come out.
Well, the Texas Senator just thinks Boehner is upset because he’s trying to stop his “golf buddy” Donald Trump in his tracks.
Cruz fires back, saying that he has never even met John Boehner outside of pleasantries, much less worked with him.
“The truth of the matter is I don’t know the man”, Cruz said. “If I have said 50 words in my life to John Boehner, I’d be surprised”.
Boehner voted for Kasich in the OH primary, and endorsed his bid for president, though he has also thrown House Speaker Paul Ryan’s name into the 2016 mix.
On the Democratic side, Boehner called U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders the most honest politician in the race, though he stated that he disagreed with Sanders on all the issues.
“John Boehner had some interesting comments last night”, Cruz declared.
“[Kasich] requires more effort on my behalf than all my other friends … but he’s still my friend, and I love him”, he said.
The Stanford Daily reported that Boehner and David M. Kennedy, faculty director and history professor emeritus, joined the talk hosted by Stanford in Government (SIG) and the Stanford Speakers Bureau on Wednesday. ‘Good to see you, Mr. Speaker.’ I’ve never had any substantive conversations with John Boehner in any respect.
