1. yeah:but most average republicans are so f'ing greedy they'll tolerate it to screw the poor. n/t

[trotsky]

6. Exactly. n/t

[lagomorph777]

24. Most average Reputins are so f'ing racist, even though they are poor,

they will screw themselves as long as they think that people of color and women are being screwed worse.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Gotta agree with him on that!

They need to band together to get rid of those damned knuckleheads.

[Kleveland]

3. Every once in a while, our Ohio boy spits out a doozey!

That is one of his best.

Don't think that I support him generally speaking, I just enjoy his special moments sometimes.

His special shade of Orange is rarely mentioned these days.... it seems that *Rump is the new oRange.

[maddiemom]

23. Trump's orange displaced Boehner's orange in the public eye, but...

give Boehner credit: he never had little white circles around his eyes.

[unblock]

4. but very few are bothered enough to even consider changing their vote....

[forgotmylogin]

5. Theyll throw up

And go right back to the Baccanalian feast.

[C_U_L8R]

7. Hey Boehner... they're Republican knuckleheads

Own it.

[ismnotwasm]

8. Bullshit. They asked, they received.

Trump is a logical consequence of republican ideology

[awesomerwb1]

9. Cheeto has a high approval rating

among reps. Wish I could believe in gop politicians suddenly turning around to criticize let alone do anything to get rid of cheeto.

Bannon has them running scared.

10. Question for Boehner: What are you doing to fix the problem?

[MiniMe]

11. Or What did you do to prevent the problem?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. Looking at his web site, not much.

In fact, he may well have been a part of the problem. In earlier talks, he was highly supportive of Betsy DeVos and Trump's North Korea stance.

See: http://www.johnboehner.com/news/

Now, he's hinting at remorse? I suspect Boehner is still the same old staunch right-winger he always was, but does not like the overtly crazy stuff.

[WinkyDink]

12. Nope. Wrong. Ix-nay on the istancing-day. Republicans ARE Trump. He is They. The PROOF? They will

VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN.

[gratuitous]

13. Gee, John, I have a question for you then . . .

These average Republicans of which you speak, the ones who are throwing up about the knuckleheads? This question's about them:

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY?

[apnu]

14. That's cute John, what you all doing about it? (nt)

[GeorgeGist]

16. A remarkable 83 percent of Republican voters still approve of Trump. 6hrs ago.

[ThoughtCriminal]

18. The unpublished hidden stat

percentage of Trump voters who will admit, even in an anonymous poll, that they voted for him. Nixon won a popular vote landslide, but just a two years later when asked who they voted for, the number of respondents who said they voted for him was, if I recall correctly, was under 30%.

So, perhaps a better title would be: 83% of respondents who are willing to admit they voted for Trump, still support him.

[OnDoutside]

17. 86% of Republicans STILL support Trump. Boner is wrong on that.

[Jim Lane]

19. I think you and Boehner are both right.

Many Republicans are throwing up BUT will still support Trump.

On the bright side, 14% deserting him would be big. I'll bet if we could rerun the election this November, Clinton would win the Electoral College as well as the popular vote.

[Kaleva]

25. I think that has dropped to 73% but that was Gallup

[area51]

20. Well, John Boner,

your republinazi friends have the power to do something about it, but won't. They're traitors to America.

[SummerSnow]

21. If he was still Speaker he would never had said those things

[BlancheSplanchnik]

22. You helped a growing repuke war against Liberalism.

aka: A war of lies, hate, greed and selfish tribalism against REALITY.

You don't like it now?
We didn't like it when you were doing only slightly less abhorrent shit.

I wouldn't spit my toothpaste water on you if you were on fire.

[Solly Mack]

26. Boehner likes to pretend he didn't have a hand in what the GOP is today.

[Skittles]

27. most of US are throwing up over THEM

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. Even when he denounces he uses the funny, nice guy word "knuckleheads"

not what they are John, violent traitors are what they are.

[tblue37]

29. He enabled the knuckleheads. nt

[Irish_Dem]

30. Says one of the biggest knuckleheads of all times. nt

[hibbing]

31. BS n/t

[RainCaster]

32. Boner- the word is "impeach"

If you had a spine and testicles you would be singing that but you don't.

[bucolic_frolic]

33. Boehner was no airhead

[lindysalsagal]

34. John: Those knuckle heads were voted in by "most average republicans."

So they'll have to look in the mirror for someone to blame.

"They knew what they were getting themselves into."

It's not like frump kept his idiocy to himself!!!
