"John Boehner, the famously blunt ex-House speaker, left no doubt he's not a fan of fellow Republican Ted Cruz, leaping off the sidelines of the presidential race Wednesday night to unleash a stunning verbal lashing of the Texas senator, reportedly calling him “Lucifer in the flesh” and a “miserable son of a b---.” He went on to say that he goes golfing and is "texting buddies" with Trump. So, who's anti-establishment now...?
I honestly don't know what Cruz did in the Senate to make so many friends. Can you guys think of anyone else in either party that's managed to alienate himself so much from his/her colleagues?
This dialog is certainly fuel on the fire of Cruz not being able to ever work with the Congress.
It's remarkable, isn't it? It makes you wonder why he would think that he could possibly be an effective president. Everyone hates him. Everyone. And it's not as if it's a new phenomenon. If you read up on his personal history, it seems as though, throughout every phase of his life, the guy has left a trail of, if not enemies, a large number of people who really really strongly dislike the guy. And, it seems, the better people know him, the more they dislike him.
Every presidential candidate has to have a huge ego, but I really struggle to understand who Cruz thinks is going to be in his corner if he wins. I sort of imagine that he'll be like King Joffrey on Game of Thrones: this petulant, mean-spirited little puke who will use his office to take out his petty revenge on everyone who ever wronged him, from other world leaders to the cheerleader who wouldn't go out with him in high school.
That's why, and I've said it before, if I had to pick between Trump and Cruz, I would pick Trump in a New York minute.
