The ‘Trump Phenomenon’ and the Effort to Overthrow Boehner

Not much more on Trump here. But it gives an idea of what's happening in the House Republican Caucus and an update on Boehner's removal. What role Trump plays in this fall's congress is up to him. He could certainly cause the GOPe a lot of grief.

If I were him I'd mostly just ridicule what they do instead of getting involved much. But he's a pretty aggressive guy.

Hope everyone has let their Representative know their opinion of Boehner.

I think if Trump wins he gives his agenda to Congress. If they give him grief I see him naming who people should consider recalling and running against.

I don’t think Trump will put up with a smug politician who thinks they have a right to do business as usual, like Reagan I think you get fireside chats on steroids!

Trump is a late-comer to the effort and never a leader of it. He’s too busy trying to get socialist healthcare in this country.

Boehner IS The Best Alcoholic On Capitol Hill!

Sources close to embattled Speaker of the House John Boehner says the smell of alcohol is far more prevalent on him these days as the continuing government shutdown showcases his failure as a House leader and his obsession with keeping his job above all else in a deepening national crisis.

The Boehner who emerged form a White House meeting Wednesday night appeared stubborn but also confused and out of control after he spent 90 minutes refusing to budge from his marching orders from House conservatives only to face reporters and claim it was President Barack Obama who would not negotiate.

“This is Boehner on his last legs,” a frustrated GOP aide told Capitol Hill Blue after the meeting. “The continuing capitulation, rambling rhetoric and attempts to drown his ineptitude in a bottle are taking their tolls.”(Click For More)

Madsen says he wouldn’t be surprised if Boehner, the 63-year-old son of a tavern owner, was pounding down drinks while trying to please the White House AND hardline House conservatives during the shutdown.

“When he’s under pressure he drinks more, is what I’ve heard,” Madsen divulged.

He adds Boehner’s well-known trait of weeping under stress is also a sign of his boozing.

Says Madsen, “I think it affects his performance as Speaker. I’ve heard people in the White House say ‘We tried to negotiate with him.’ And even some Republicans in the Senate say they can’t work with him because he’s nowhere to be found. He’s off getting sloshed somewhere!”

Former Ohio congressman Bob Ney cranks the criticism up a notch, claiming Boehner “is a party animal who would rather drink than govern.”(Click For More)

He’s also a closet chain-smoker, fond of the Barclay’s brand, rumored to be able to suck half a pack down in a matter of minutes if given a proper recess.

The son of a bar owner, Boehner worked alongside his father mopping the floors at Andy’s Café when he was in elementary school. Perhaps that’s where he first developed his taste for booze, but today, Congressman Boehner resembles a modern day Dean Martin of sorts, even leading a social life the legendary crooner would envy.

He’s made a name for himself with his legendary late-night parties which he first began throwing at the 1996 Republican National Convention. Nicknamed the “Best Little Warehouse” party, Boehner, (along with Bruce Gates, a tax lobbyist with Washington Council Ernst & Young and head of Mr. Boehner’s Freedom Project PAC and prominent lobbyist Henry Gandy) are known for throwing a party at the RNC that runs multiple days, often lasts until dawn and exceeds $100,000.

When Boehner replaced Tom Delay and was elected as Majority Leader back in 2006, disclosure reports filed with the FEC show that Boehner (or his representatives), spent $1,465 at the “classy” liquor store Schneider’s of Capitol Hill on February 3rd, the very next day after he was elected as leader. Clearly a celebration was in order. The bill was paid by Boehner’s slush fund, errr leadership PAC, The Freedom Project.

At the Convention, Boehner gave two awkward, drunken speeches that were embarrassing, somewhat uncomfortable, and confusing at best for those in attendance. The man could not pronounce a name if his life depended on it.(Click For More)

Boehner’s drinking problem – ignored by the mainstream media – received a bit of coverage on a Washington, D.C. blog earlier this year.

“Those who know Boehner best say he does tip more than a few from time to time and some of his drunken binges are poorly-kept secrets on Capitol Hill,” the blog, Capitol Hill Blue noted. “Each day, the email to Capitol Hill Blue is filled with stories about Boehner’s after-hours partying exploits.”

During a trip to Washington, D.C. earlier this year, FITS heard many of these stories … with specific references to the Capitol Hill Club.

Boehner isn’t just a drunk, either, he’s allegedly an “inveterate skirt-chaser who’s had numerous affairs,” according to Down With Tyranny, another Washington, D.C. blog. In fact one lawmaker told us on our recent Washington trip that Boehner – married since 1973 – was forced to narrow his number of regular lobbyist lovers from three down to one when it became evident he was in line to become Speaker in 2010.(Click To read More)

Is it depression? Or is Boehner simply in touch with his emotions? Does he wear his heart on his sleeve, or does he cry on a dime because he has a tender spot for all things American?

While it's impossible to know, some are beginning to speculate that Boehner's penchant for turning on the waterworks might have some connection to his consumption of wine. Liberal MSNBC host Ed Shultz, half-jokingly, called Boehner a "cheap drunk" the other day, Capitol Hill aides of both parties are wondering, and there's even a web page devoted to it.

So is drinking the issue -- and why might a person struggling with drinking be more prone to weeping in public?

Alcohol also "brings out underlying emotions," explains Dr. Michael Fingerhood, an associate professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University. "It generally is unmasking what is inside them." (Read more Here)

I have emails concerning Boehner's crying. I am trying to find a source to verify those. It is said that Boehner has been coached. He has been given "acting lessons" as it were. His "crying" is as phoney as everything else he does.

JOHN BOEHNER: The Very Best DemocRAT Speaker Ever!

Trump is a late-comer to the effort and never a leader of it. He’s too busy trying to get socialist healthcare in this country.

Well who should we vote for that has fought socialist healthcare that can WIN?

That's the deal Trump should have made with Reince Priebus for his loyalty pledge.

...support his replacement of McConnell & Boehner.

Alcohol is a depressant and always bring one’s feeling to the surface. ...thus all the crocodile tears.

He’s too busy trying to get socialist healthcare in this country.

Where did you hear that? One thing he has said, out of his mouth, that he wants to open across borders insurance carriers. Does that sound like socialist healthcare?

Honer (who I admit once respecting) has done little more than rubber-stamp and enable Obama’s attack on America

Boner has to GO!

There is NO federal recall provision of any kind.

Watch Trump push the liberty Amendments with Levin to make some. :-)

Anyone that doubts Boehner is a drunk should go to the :40 second mark of this video ........

The man we have standing up to Obama is a DRUNK. I know people that know him personally. He drinks early and often.

Yep! Alcohol is the main reason he's the house crybaby.
He Must Go!
Look at it this way, CryingJag Bonehead is, in reality, only two heartbeats away from becoming president

Trump can influence what happens in congress NOW, before the election. It’s a delicate choice for him though IMO.

Conversely, the GOPe can influence the presidential election by what they do now. Though I expect them to maintain their “please Dems at all costs” strategy, they may have chances to aim a blow at Trump.

Anything Congress does has Trump going higher.

Yes!

Most drunks I know are telling you they love you one minute and then saying they hate you the next. John seems to have those emotional moods swings when he’s drunk.

I know people that know him well. He’s smoking and drinking all day.

Yep. He even cried during that Golf interview! The Crying Idiot!

Boehner Is Speaker Of The House Who LOVES Golf AND the best lobbyists in DC

Speaker John Boehner has a message for everyone wondering what happens when he plays golf with President Barack Obama: It's just a game.

"The president has suggested, 'Hey, do you think it is too much trouble to play golf again?'" Boehner says in an interview with the Golf Channel. "I have to look at him and say, 'Yes, because everybody gets bent out of shape worried about what we are up to, when all we are really going to do is just play golf.'"

The speaker recalled another golf match with Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who is now seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
"President Obama shows up, we are getting ready to putt a few, and he says, 'Boehner, you and I are partners. We are going to take these guys (Kasich and Biden) on," Boehner recalled. "I thought John Kasich was going to cry. So the president and I whipped up on them pretty good and they paid up."

"As soon as we got in the cart I said, Mr. President, just remember something, this is just golf," he said. (Click For More)

On Life Lessons Learned on the Golf Course:
“Perseverance and Patience. Probably one of the secrets to my tenure as Speaker is just to be patient. Listen to everyone and try to understand. It takes an awful lot of patience.”

~~I treat my colleagues – Democrat and Republican – the same. Nobody more open and transparent in Washington, D.C. than I am. At the end of the day, that is the way I ran my business and the way I run my political life. Just tell people upfront the facts and the truth.”

On why he Loves the Game of Golf:
“Golf for me is more of an escape. It is an escape from all of the other things going on because when you are trying to hit that little white ball, you don’t have time to think about anything else.”(Click For More)

From the day he arrived, Boehner made it clear that lobbyists wouldn’t get past his receptionists until we wrote out checks for the maximum amounts allowed and that if we wanted consideration for our legisaltive initiatives, those checks had better keep coming.

He demanded invitations to Realtor conventions at locations where he could play golf. Boehner cares more for golf than he does for the needs of his constituents.
In 2009, his campaign fund spent $82,998 for golf outings for himself and his cronies.(Click For More)

A promotion is running on The Golf Channel about Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) appearing on the show “Feherty” on August 3, and Boehner, who has a history of waterworks, gets the tears flowing again.

“I wanted to make sure that every kid had the same chance I did. An opportunity,” Boehner told former PGA golfer David Feherty, with tears forming in his eyes.

The spot also shows Boehner talking about a picture of himself and colleagues, and he told Feherty, “The three of us are talking about how easily we turn to tears.”

JOHN BOEHNER: The Very Best DemocRAT Speaker Ever!

I see you’re still sticking with the 15 year old line even though many people have pointed out it is wrong.

and that the party will not run any adds against him going forward, and to the extent it can will urge independent PACs to hold off as well.
