Democratic presidential candidate and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday that he admired House Speaker John Boehner for his “tenacity.”
Boehner announced Friday that he would resign from his post at the end of October.
“Well, John has had an impossibly difficult job trying to reconcile the conservative wing of his caucus with the extreme, extreme right wing of his caucus that really will not do anything and pass any legislation that Barack Obama will sign,” Sanders said.
“It’s an impossible job,” he added. “And I admire John for his tenacity and hanging in there for five tough years.”
De mortuis nil nisi bonum.
I know the EmoProg response to this would be “Heresy”.
[And I despise Boehner–especially after I saw him dissembling to Dreamers who caught him at a D.C, deli]
But Bernie is right…
And every person who cares about the future of the United States should be about putting as much daylight between TeaBaggers and those who are not.
Bernie once again making sense and speaking from the heart.

Another example of: “If Hillary said it…”
If Hillary Clinton said the exact same thing, she would be accused of being a closet Republican and corporate whore.
