Despite former Speaker John Boehner’s scorching criticisms of Donald Trump in his new book, Boehner told Time that he voted for Trump in last year’s presidential election.

Said Boehner: “I voted for Donald Trump. I thought that his policies, by and large, mirrored the policies that I believed in. I thought the choices for the Supreme Court were top notch. At the end of the day, who gets nominated to the federal courts is really the most important thing a President does.”

1. He's qgop now and always. Althou he gave a scathing rebuke of cruz, if he were the prez

Candidate, he’d vote for him as well.

Hate the guy even more!

[Walleye]

2. Their obsession with the Supreme Court started with school integration and we all know it

They just transferred their ire at Brown versus Board of Education to Roe versus Wade. So now they think appointing judges is the only job the president has to do. Never mind the biggest health crisis in 100 years. They got their damn justices.

3. This is the part that people keep underestimating

Even the people that despise him keep voting for him because he plays for the "right" team.

Qualifications, character, competency, etc. don't matter when it is really all about identity politics.

Ultimately, this is about the right wing media presenting liberalism as evil. If you can convince people that your opponents are evil incarnate then they will continue to vote for their guys even if they think they are terrible.

4. Yet, he didn't think that all Trump's promises were probably lies?

Those years of Trump's presidency that Boehner had criticized would miraculously disappear and no longer be Trump's method of operation?

How many times do you have to be burned to learn, Boehner?

5. Boner is and always will be a POS

He has gone along with every bad thing the GQP has done

8. +1

Couldn't have said it better myself.

6. Trust any of them them at your peril. What about 500k dead? Not worth considering?

7. What "policies?"

Trump farmed out "policies" to Jared and Stephen Miller, watched TV and ranted on Twitter - when he wasn't playing golf.

9. Fuck John Boner

A drunk and a Rethug to the end.

10. What is bad is he voted to re-elect trump, and that makes him worthless

[Goodheart]

11. The most important thing a president does is to promote and protect the general welfare

including security against foreign foes and natural disaster.

Fuck you, John Boehner.

12. and with that admission

Boehner's Woulda Coulda Shoulda Rehabilitation Tour cratered...good!

14. In a nutshell why the Rs put up with Trump

They liked the policies a whole lot, just hated the messanger.
