Trump a disaster, says guy whose tenure as House Speaker was a disaster

A normal person would wonder why anyone runs to John Boehner for a take on what's happening in Washington. Only the tenure of sexual predator Dennis Hastert saves Boehner from being the worst Republican House Speaker in the nation's history. He allowed Barack Obama to run runshod over him on everything from spending to health care to immigration enforcement, and didn't even seem to mind it all that much. He was forced out by the base of his own party, which was tired of him making excuses for doing nothing with the majority he was given by voters in 2010, and again in 2012, and again in 2014. He may not have been responsible for the Obama agenda, but he was willing to use none of the power he had to try to stop it. John Boehner failed as Speaker of the House. The country is in much worse shape than it needs to be because he had the job.
