It says and here that any other politician would have winced at the characterization, especially coming from a follow republican, but given his longterm success at extracting vitriol and bio by the barrel for those from those who should be his ideological comrades, we can only assume ted cruz claims the hatred and condemnation and regards boehners lucifer comment as an endorsement.

I agree that boehner should not have made the remarks he made. He had a right to degrade him in a way. That was a bit too much. Im not a ted cruz supporter. He is part of the establishment. He does lie, he started off doing real good and let the gop back him. Then he turned around. Their, patted in them on the back, continue to campaign. That is nothing but why washing his back and covering his tracks. He is lying. I dont mean to say that in a rude way because i am a cruz supporter. If you had watched every preview in every show like i have, you can see it as his supporters come behind him and the people who backed him, he went to go down in the polls when the gop went to run super pacs for him.
