What was John Boehner thinking when describing Ted Cruz as Lucifer in the flesh last week? Whatever Boehner intended, those remarks didnt just come as an extemporaneous word-association game. Reader Jason J reminded us yesterday that Boehner made the same comment about Cruz several weeks ago, during a Q&A session in Boca Raton with the Future Industry Association:
During the same question-and-answer session in Florida, Mr. Boehner referred to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, another Republican presidential candidate, as Lucifer.
Mr. Boehner has previously called the senator, who led a failed Republican effort to shut down the government over the Affordable Care Act, a jackass.
Clearly, Boehner has a particular animus for Cruz and Boehner has chosen to express it as an accusation of Cruz being evil incarnate in the middle of a presidential primary fight. Why? Cruz has his suspicions, and no problem returning the favor. In an interview with CBS News, Cruz ripped Trump for perpetuating one of the greatest frauds in the history of modern elections, and cited Boehners supportive words for the front-runner as proof. In fact, Cruz quipped, the Lucifer comments sounded as if the former Speaker had sold his soul for a chance to be Trumps running mate:

If Trumps thinking about Boehner as running mate, hed have to know that he couldnt possibly let that out until after the nomination gets secured, either in California or at the convention. Otherwise, hed risk shredding the anti-establishment energy that has the brass ring within reach.

How much liver can Boner have left at this point?Knowing how much to give him to drink could be very tricky.
All Cruz have is insults
Boner and Cruz are why we are currently in progress to dump the goper rino uniparty republican establishment leadership.
Boehner make a horrible VP for Trump. In the same speech, he said Trump insulted woman, minority groups, which he did not
“Boehner make a horrible VP for Trump. In the same speech, he said Trump insulted woman, minority groups, which he did not”
I was just getting in a few gratuitous digs at Ted Cruz.
Boehner brings nothing to the table he is a zero but Cruz is a net negative.
There is only one reason why Mr. Cruz is still in a race he can’t legitimately win. Like a dedicate party boy, as long as there is a glimmer of chance of a contested convention, Mr. Cruz stays in.
Trump/Boner 2016...the jokes write themselves
The guy is devoid of wit.
Insufferable Ted.
I know why his wife was out wandering near the interstate overpass that day. That man would drive anyone insane.
Too bad Boehner didn’t show a little of that spunk when Obama was using him for a urinal.
Golden Showers is Boner's kind of thing(Don't google it, you've been warned).
The things Ted says get more and more bizarre every day.
I don’t think Boehner ever criticizes a Democrat, only his “fellow” Republicans. Ditto McC of KY and AZ!
No, Cruz is obsessed with referring to Trump as, “Donald.” Based on the circumstances, that in itself, is bizarre.
He nailed it.
Cruz is showing he doesn’t have the wit that most think he should have with all them brains - when such a lame stab comes out of his mouth, I begin to question whether he has real intelligence or just “street smarts”. Obama has “street smarts” - I don’t want another like that in the WH.
I don’t think any man that posessed the power of Speaker of the House would even consider being Vice President
Trump is WAY too smart to even consider Boehner as anything in his cabinet.
