Trump a disaster, says guy whose tenure as House Speaker was a disaster.
A normal person would wonder why anyone runs to John Boehner for a take on what’s happening in Washington. Only the tenure of sexual predator Dennis Hastert saves Boehner from being the worst Republican House Speaker in the nation’s history. He allowed Barack Obama to run runshod over him on everything from spending to health care to immigration enforcement, and didn’t even seem to mind it all that much.
He was forced out by the base of his own party, which was tired of him making excuses for doing nothing with the majority he was given by voters in 2010, and again in 2012, and again in 2014. He may not have been responsible for the Obama agenda, but he was willing to use none of the power he had to try to stop it.
John Boehner failed as Speaker of the House. The country is in much worse shape than it needs to be because he had the job.
No one should ever listen to anything he says.
And yet here he is being treated as some sort of sage wise man, which can only mean one thing: Yep, much to the delight of the Associated Press, he’s been publicly trashing Donald Trump:
Former House Speaker John Boehner says that aside from international affairs and foreign policy, President Donald Trump’s time in office has so far been a “complete disaster.”
You’re badgering me. “be the first to comment”
Boy oh boy.
OK. I shook the man’s hand once. It felt like a deep sea bivalve or octopus. Slimy.
Remove all that fake tan cream and he’s Harry Reid under there !
🖕👿🖕 Bo(eh)ner!
Isn’t it time for him to write his book or be on the tee vee hawking gold or Viagra?
No one needs faux-republicans like “Buck Owens” Boehner.
It’s time for him and prostituting idiot John McCain and others
to be OUSTED from the Republican party if the
Republican Party is to have ANY credibility.
Pelosi is crazy. And evil. But she got things done for the Democrats.
Republican Speakers seem to have a common trait of getting nothing done for their base.
I am reminded of the boehner handshake by every goopy slurpy gooey advertisement below the posts on this blog and the comments section. Them there is nasty.
I never wanted him to be the speaker in the first place, and I was like what, fifteen back then? I still knew that he was a jelly-spine, weakling, sell-out.
I keep expecting him to get a whiff of true manly statesman from Trump and throw himself under a running lawnmower.
Honestly After the last two weeks of the Trump Train I have no patience for born losers.
Speaking at an energy conference in Houston?
How much money was he paid to speak?
Still getting kick backs after retirement for what he did and didn’t do as speaker.
Another law needs to be made prohibiting retired Congressmen and Senators from receiving speaking fees, gratuities and gifts.
On a bright note: Boehner is out of Ohio and out of Washington DC.
Alcoholic weakling.
Just another limp boner. He needs to go away also.
Phoney boney!
A jellyfish has more spine than that sniveling worm. I would cringe every time there was a news shot of him with that goofy loping walk, rolled up papers in hand, down some hallway in the capital followed by that gaggle of ass kissers behind.
Go drink another bottle of scotch and STFU, Boehnhead.
Takes one to know one.
At least he’s a FRIENDLY drunk.
