Looking back what a huge disappointment Boehner was after the reins were yanked from Pelosi and handed to him. Difficult to conceptualize he was 3rd in line to the presidency!

That's all he was good for...crying, drinking, smoking cigarettes, and caving to Barry's every whim.

Even former Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner thinks Donald Trump's administration is a disaster. While addressing the KPMG Global Energy Conference on May 26, the perpetually tan Boehner shared his rather rough assessment of Trump's presidency with the audience.
After conceding that Trump's aggressive position on ISIS was laudable, Boehner quickly criticized him for, well, everything else. "Everything else he's done [in office] has been a complete disaster," Boehner chided, according to the energy news website RigZone. "He's still learning how to be president."
Ever the bluntly honest, no-longer-in-office politician, Boehner also offered his analysis of the Trump administration's alleged collusion with Russia. "They need to get to the bottom of this. The crazy left wing Democratic colleagues of mine bringing up impeachment talks . . . talk of impeachment is the best way to rile up Trump supporters," Boehner said. "Remember, impeachment is not a legal process; it's a political process."
He's right about this. Both the Republican House and Senate would have to go along with it. And if they did the Trumpsters would go crazy... their political careers would be DOA in the upcoming midterms!
Boehner, who has known Trump for over 15 years, said that despite their relationship, he "never envisioned him" as president. As friends do, Boehner even had some advice for the "still learning" president: stop tweeting late at night. It's difficult to imagine that the president would heed his advice, however, Trump might benefit from Boehner's previous evaluation of efforts to repeal — or repair — America's health care.
"In the 25 years I served in the United States Congress, Republicans never, ever, one time, agreed on what a health care proposal should look like. Not once, Boehner said at a health care conference in February. "They'll fix Obamacare. I shouldn't call it repeal and replace because that's not what's going to happen. They're basically going to fix the flaws and put a more conservative box around it."
Boehner's opinion, though strongly worded, is not exactly out of left field for former Republican leaders. Former President George W. Bush also criticized Trump'sunwelcoming immigration policy and reiterated the necessity for "answers" about that Russia thing.
