Speaker of the House John Boehner’s unexpected resignation last week has caused many observers to question his decision and its timing. Theories have ranged from Boehner’s health taking an unexpected turn for the worse to Boehner being charged with some sort of crime.
However, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has come forward with what he claimed was the real reason that Boehner has resigned his post.

CRUZ PING
And?
It’s conservative clickbait. Nothing to see here.
so what's the reason then???
Nothing new. He resigned because he knew he would be run out anyway for backing the Dems yet again.
Ain't happening. No hit from here.

Cruz believes that Speaker Boehner has cut a “deal” with congressional Democrats and President Barack Obama in which Boehner will push through Obama’s liberal agenda and then ride off into the sunset.
“I believe if Speaker Boehner had done that, had passed a dirty CR funding Planned Parenthood, funding this Iranian nuclear deal, that he would have lost his speakership,” said Cruz on the Senate floor. “So Speaker Boehner faced a conundrum. If he does what he and leader McConnell promised, which is fund all of Barack Obama’s priorities, he would have lost his job.
“And so what did he do? He announced he is resigning as speaker and resigning as a member of Congress,” said Cruz. “That is unsurprising, but it also telegraphs the deal he has just cut.”
Does Cruz have a cleft palate?
Click bait with old news. Don’t bother.
Cruz says Boehner’s resignation is in a month, and Boehner is going to give Dems everything they want. He knew if he did that, he’d lose the Speaker job, so he resigned. Not sure how Boehner alone can do this.
Post the full article if able. If not, a short summation would be nice.
Boner must be getting one big, fat envelope.
thx...
Oddest Cruz question I’ve heard yet. What makes you ask? I haven’t noticed a speech quality suggesting either a repaired cleft palate or velopharyngeal insufficiency, so I’m thinking “no.” That is, unless I’ve not paid close enough attention, which is entirely possible, lol.

Or he didn’t want a Dingy Harry Reid exercise equipment accident.
I think he's too drunk to be scared.
I’d like to have that one back. I feel so cheap.
I think he’s too drunk to be scared.
You’re right. The guy always looks like a lush. I bet the Rats kept him supplied with all the booze he could drink.
Should we assume Mitch McConnell has done the same thing a Boehner?
