Topic: Speaker Boehner Say's Cruz is Miserable to Work With

So, Mr. Speaker, how do you really feel?

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, speaking to reporters in Fort Wayne, Ind., also said he’s “never worked” with Boehner.

“Truth of the matter is I don’t know the man,” he said. Cruz later said he’s met him “two or three times” (though he reportedly also worked as Boehner’s attorney for a case in 1998).

“Boehner’s comments reveal everything that is wrong with Washington,” Cruz said.

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.

Yeah I watched Cruz speaking the other night trying to make the case Trump and Hillary were basically the opposite side of the same coin and took everything Trump had said and reversed it. Said Trump wanted to keep common core, Obama care etc which is completely the opposite of what Trump has been saying for months.
And to think I was leaning toward him early in the primariesindifferent

Guys, these are politicians. Lying is part of the resume. Trump, Clinton and Sanders are also liars. These are Washingtons best! To say they are liars is like stating in shock that the sky is blue.

That may be true but there are degrees of lying...

Your little 2 year old tells you she didn't write on the wall.

Your wife tells you she has never had an affair but gives you herpes and HIV all in one shot.

Lying Ted fits the latterlaugh

Keep in mind folks. These people are package deals. And few are looking into or talking about the spouses. The days of ' First ladies ', sitting back & smiling & being a silent devoted wife, that spends too much decorating the White House are GONE.

I am not too concerned about sexual morality/ immorality.
(Unless it is criminal).
I am more concerned about her views & business dealings (Wall St).
