Upon first seeing this I burst out laughing. If there was ever an endorsement about who will stand up to the establishment, it’s this. In an interview with the Stanford Daily, Boehner also made it clear he’d vote for Trump, and thinks Hillary is “smart and accomplished” (Ambassador Stevens might disagree). Bottom line: tells you everything you need to know about who the establishment fears the most.
Former Speaker John Boehner panned Ted Cruz as “Lucifer in the flesh” during comments at an event Wednesday night at Stanford University.
“I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone,” Boehner (R-Ohio) said, according to The Stanford Daily.
“But I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
Cruz was a thorn in Boehner’s side during several standoffs with the Obama administration, and some of his actions likely cost Boehner support from his own conference.
Cruz met with House members of the conservative Freedom Caucus — an unusual move for a freshman senator — in 2013 and pushed them to fight to defund ObamaCare. The effort eventually led to a government shutdown that hurt the GOP.
Boehner reportedly called Cruz a “jackass” over the issue.

And now Peter King has said that comparison may be an insult to Lucifer. King of Jerks.
