Sometimes I wonder if the people that hated Boehner knew he wasn't the President, I mean has done everything he can do to halt the communist's agenda short of creating economic disaster.
Not really. In fact, he was most recently in the process of crafting yet another compromise whereby he would hand the conservatives yet another symbolic and utterly meaningless vote on defunding Planned Parenthood, while ultimately funding Planned Parenthood, for fear of "shutting down the government." This is most likely what lead to his resignation.
It would be nice to pick a Speaker who had the courage to say: "We're going to pass a bill that funds every part of the government, except for dolling out $500 million of your tax dollars to the nation's leading abortion provider and fetal organ seller. If the President is really radical enough to shut down the government by vetoing that bill, that's on him." In fact, this should be tatooed under the eyelids of every single GOP politician. If the government is shut down, it will be because the President insisted on funding Planned Parenthood - the GOP will give him a bill that funds everything else.
But perhaps the biggest betrayal is that - aside from making Obama veto the Keystone Pipeline, the GOP Congress under his leadership hasn't accomplished one single thing since 2014. No immigration reform. No tax reform. What have they been doing for the past year? They've spent pretty much the entire session working on giving this president broader trade authority (because that's what the big money donors want).
