CBS Sunday Morning released an excerpt of their upcoming interview with John Boehner, where he trashes both Jim Jordan and Ted Cruz:
"I don't beat anybody up, it's not really my style, except that jerk."
Former House Speaker John Boehner, author of “On the House,” talks with John Dickerson about two Congressional Republicans he deems to be “political terrorists."

Boehner calls Jordan a political terrorist and Ted Cruz a ‘jerk’, claiming that Cruz just makes a lot of noise so he can raise a lot of money.
Ted Cruz hit back on Twitter, saying “The Swamp is unhappy. I wear with pride his drunken, bloviated scorn. Please don’t cry.”

He should wear that with pride! The fact that John Boehner hates both Ted Cruz and Jim Jordan says a lot about him. A lot we already know, mind you, from watching him capitulate over and over to Obama and the Democrats.
If John Boehner had been half the Speaker that Nancy Pelosi was, Republicans would have accomplished a lot more in their negotiations with Obama and the Democratic Senate. But alas he was too weak and now he’s just out trying to sell books to his friends in the swamp.
