Quote:Boehner unleashed: Ex-speaker calls Cruz 'Lucifer,' 'miserable son of a b----'


John Boehner, the famously blunt ex-House speaker, left no doubt he's not a fan of fellow Republican Ted Cruz, leaping off the sidelines of the presidential race Wednesday night to unleash a stunning verbal lashing of the Texas senator, reportedly calling him “Lucifer in the flesh” and a “miserable son of a *****.”

The longtime Ohio powerhouse had not been very outspoken on the race since retiring last year, but he held little back when asked about the Texas senator and underdog GOP presidential candidate during a forum at Stanford University.
“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 ***** in my life,” he said, according to The Stanford Daily.
He reportedly said he’s played golf with front-runner Donald Trump, describing them as “texting buddies,” and said his relationship with Ohio Gov. John Kasich “requires more effort” but they’re friends “and I love him.” He also said he’d vote for Trump in a general election – but not Cruz. 
Cruz seized on the Trump comments in firing back Thursday morning:

Tell me again who will stand up to Washington? Trump, who's Boehner's "texting and golfing buddy," or Carly & me?[url=https://t.co/qvYPSaTEV7]https://twitter.com/bosnerdley/status/725689480926101505 …

Boehner’s scorching view of Cruz, whose anti-ObamaCare fight fueled the partial government shutdown in 2013, is not exactly a secret. He’s previously called him “Lucifer” and other choice words. And in the Ohio primary, Boehner said he voted for former colleague Kasich.

It’s unclear whether Boehner’s unflattering description will mean much in a GOP primary where the two leading candidates effectively are running against the Republican establishment.
Cruz, despite trailing in the delegate count and being mathematically eliminated from winning the nomination outright, is campaigning hard to force an open convention, renewing attacks on his rivals as Washington “insiders.”
He has openly sparred with congressional leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Both Cruz and Trump on Thursday were continuing to barnstorm Indiana, which holds a critical primary next week. Cruz has a rally in Fort Wayne and South Bend, while Trump is hosting one in Evansville before planning to close the night in California, which votes in early June.
Cruz, in the run-up to the Indiana vote, on Wednesday made the unconventional move of announcing his running mate choice, former rival and ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina.
Trump, at a Fox News town hall, called the announcement a “waste of time,” noting how far behind Cruz is in the race. But Fiorina fired back, saying the race isn't over yet and "close doesn't count." 
Kasich, meanwhile, is holding a town hall meeting Thursday in Oregon, where he is trying to stay competitive after striking a deal with Cruz to avoid Indiana and let the Texas senator take on Trump there next week.

Trump VP to pick up Ohio, if he is in the General Election?

Best thing that could've happened to Cruz. Only about two months too late to make him relevant. He won't have enough delegates and a brokered convention works out best for Kasich.

Boehner and Trump need to start an Orange Party here in the US

I saw the title and thought "Why are you looking to see if Cruz has a boner or was it that noticable that you had to post about it?"

First time I've ever agreed with Boehner.

I always scan from the bottom of the page up when looking over the threads. I remembered seeing this post earlier and thought, I will always read this thread's title as "Boner on Cruz." The thread below it was Brad's thread, "Classless Lawyers." So scanning up the page I read, "Classless Lawyers Boner on Cruz."

I could not remember reading thread titles before where combining them they created a phrase like that. I was all
because now I not only knew about the boner on Cruz, but knew it was a specific type of boner.
