USA presidential cheerful Ted Cruz has been called “Lucifer in the substance” by the previous Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner. “Trump, who’s Boehner’s “texting and golfing buddy”, or Carly & me?”, he wrote, referring to Carly Fiorina, his pick for vice-president in an eventual candidacy.
Former House Speaker John Boehner stepped out of retirement on Wednesday to weigh in on the 2016 presidential campaign – and he had no qualms about speaking his mind. “Indeed, during the government shut down, I reached out to John Boehner, to work with him to get something meaningful done”.
Regarding Kasich, Boehner said that he is “my friend and I love him”, but adding that his fellow Ohioan “requires more effort on my behalf than all my other friends”. “I don’t have any problem with voting for Hillary”, staunch Democrat Arlene Horenovsky said. Cruz estimated he had said less than 50 words total to the House Speaker.
“I’ve never had any substantive conversation with Boehner in any respect”, Cruz said at a news conference in Indiana.
Boehner and his allies have not forgiven Cruz for helping rally House conservatives in 2013 behind a plan to threaten a government shutdown if President Barack Obama declined to roll back his treasured health care overhaul law.
You know it’s bad when even Satan worshippers say you’re too extreme…
