Establishment in joy overload.
Via Business Insider:
Former House Speaker John Boehner seems fairly pleased that Sen. Ted Cruz didn’t win the Republican presidential nomination.
Speaking at the SkyBridge Alternatives Conference in Las Vegas on Thursday, the former speaker expressed relief that Cruz had bowed out of the race.
“Thank God the guy from Texas didn’t win,” Boehner said of Cruz, according to Business Insider senior editor Josh Barro, who attended the conference.
During his tenure as speaker, Boehner and Cruz clashed repeatedly over tactics and legislation.
