John Boehner: “If we had somehow been able to do that deal, we would not be having to negotiate this situation now with $20 trillion in…”

I`m a Republican actually, I`m a conservative Republican, but I`m not crazy and then they`ve got, I don`t know, these noisemakers I`ll call them. Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, I could go down a long list of people more interested in making noise…

Oh, yes, Jim Jordan especially.

The modern Republican Party is filled with, as John Boehner put it, people who spend more time tearing things apart than actually building anything.
