Says the Rep speaker of the house who at every turn betrayed his conservative base!
Im sure he doesnt like Cruz, like Cruz or not he stands by his conservative principles and hes gone after BONER on several occasions for losing his spine against Obama and his cronies.....
Again if you Trump supporters are trying to use this as a negative against Cruz, this really does show how much in the Tank Trump and his base are for the establishment, because Bohner is pure establishment
You guys out yourselves at every turn though and we appreciate that
Lets add to the fact most of this thread has been just superficial attacks on Ted instead of anything with any real substance and one really starts to get a picture of just how vile Trump supporters really are

Realistically, they won't like Trump any better, and if he moves in and works with them and makes deals, how is he any better than an insider?

He IS an insider... He's never been a politician before, but he's taken up the banner like a pro, has benefited GREATLY from the money in politics, he's played the game all along and will continue to do so tenfold.
I foresee MANY Trump supporters becoming disillusioned with how well he plays the "Washington Insider" game.

And hes played the game better than any politician out there, using slander and catch phrases and pandering to the lowest common denominator. Even implementing strong arm tactics at his rallies......
Yeah, Trumps definitely establishment insider lol, this guy might as well be from Chicago with his mob style tactics

Buzz-phrase bingo:
"Washington Insider"
"Lowest Common Denominator"
"Strong Arm Tactics"
"Mob Style Tactics"
Keep going, well on your way to the full card..
Just a few more to go, focus on WWII, fascism, intelligence, racism and anti-Semitism and whining. Try and get them all in one post along with your others and you'll be able to call 'house'!

Except for Carly apparently. But she is probably using him too. I don't like what I see of her either.
I don't know if Trump is thinking about having Christie as his VP, but I also think Christie is using Trump.
That's the feeling I get. I think Christie just glommed on to Trump to get some kind of cabinet position in a possible admin.

In any case, I find it a little disturbing that Boehner has made this comparison. Maybe people should listen.
I remember when I used to hate Boehner. It seems like such a long time ago. I will develop a fondness for him however, if he continues to make remarks such as this. : )
Take 'em down Johnny Boy!
Ha! He's just sad because Cruz likely helped engineer the House coup that took him out as Speaker. That's where Cruz's allies on the Hill are, in the House.
Hm I suppose. Another reason Cruz is despicable. An obstructionist. A busybody who thinks he knows what's best for everyone. No respect for democracy. Oh my.
Just looking at him gives me the shivers. I would take Trump anytime over him.

Very possible. And he took a gamble doing that so early in the game. So much has happened since then, what with Mitt opening his yap about crap, and Rubio blushing on his way out...to align oneself with Trump when he did shows that Christie's got some sort of plan.....
I can still see his "awkward" face behind Donald so many weeks ago when he first signed up, while Donald spoke....made sense. Still does, really.
But Carly! are you insane? I mean - to hook up with CRUZ?!! NOW??? ewwwickkckk...ow.
Really, Carly?? Wow. Bad, bad judgment. I don't blame Christie one bit, and neither do I blame Carson....Kasich is still the best of the lot, but if we have to have Trump - let's have someone like Kasich, or Carson, or Christie...right? None of them would kill Trump's ticket. Palin would add to the hilarity factor, but the Hillarity Factor's choice will be just as mind-numbing.
The odd $500,000 super PAC gift that may have foretold Vice President Carly Fiorina
Carly Fiorina is not likely to end up as the vice president of the United States, despite Sen. Ted Cruz's tactical announcement on Wednesday that she would be his running mate. If she does, though, it's because outside political action committees, including one ostensibly supporting Ted Cruz, kept her afloat for months. The loosening of campaign finance laws made a PAC-run campaign inevitable; now, there's a long-shot chance that the strategy could result in Vice President Fiorina.
On June 18, Keep the Promise I sent $500,000 — nearly 4 percent of everything it raised — to another PAC called Conservative, Authentic, Responsive, Leadership for You and for America. That name wasn't the PAC's original name; its original name was Carly for America, since it was a PAC created to support Fiorina's presidential bid. But the Federal Election Commission doesn't allow a PAC to share a name with a candidate, so Carly for America became C.A.R.L.Y. for America, or CARLY for America for short. Its goal was still to get Fiorina elected president, but on June 18, it got $500,000 — a fifth of what it had raised to that point — from a group that wanted to elect Cruz.
But Cruz paid $500k to Carly's superpac to get her onboard.

When? Just recently? Or was this some pact they made prior, that he paid her and then owns/pwns her?
Wow. Bad deal for Carly. What's bad enough for Heidi is doubly so for Carly.
