How do you interpret Boehner's remarks?

"He's a scumbag, but he's OUR scumbag!" - John Boehner

Trump's not a scumbag for his tweets, of course.  He's a scumbag for orchestrating a Hostile Takeover of the GOP.  So, in that sense, Boehner's correct; he gives a proper interpretation to Trump's rise.

That, btw, is why I rofl over these #NeverTrump types who didn't endorse Hillary and vote for her.  I mean, if Trump was THAT BAD, THAT AWFUL, THAT BIG AN HP, why would you NOT vote for Hillary?  And if you couldn't do that, why didn't they endorse Gary Johnson, who, by any measure, was "better" in the context I'm speaking about?

They couldn't because they wanted it both ways.  They wanted to wash their hands of the dirt from the Tweets and the comments and the Trump-being-Trump, but they wanted a "Signer-In-Chief" turning their legislation into law.  And that's what they have in Trump.  How hard is it to take Trump when he'll sign the legislation your House of Congress passes if you're a Republican?

I will note that Trump does not have a Trump loyalist installed as RNC Chair, given that Ms. McDaniel's uncle, Mitt Romney, didn't vote for Trump.

LMAO.

You would think that Trump would have put more of a loyalist at the RNC, given his Hostile Takeover mentality.  Someone like, say, Corey Lewandowski, for example, who's a Republican, but whose partisanship is pretty singular.

If you look at the folks who got bounced from the Trump Administration (Reince Priebus, Shawn Spicer, Rex Tillerson come to mind), you'll find that the Establishment Republicans whose loyalty is the most suspect were the ones that fit in the worst.  I'm sure that there will be a Trump loyalist in the RNC Chair at this time next year should the GOP lose either House of Congress.

Mitt Romney, btw, didn't help his niece by blathering out who he voted for in 2016.  Did he really need to do that now?  I think it's always a bad move for ANY pol under ANY circumstances to imply that they did not at least vote for their party's Presidential nominee, even if they aren't nuts about the candidate.  I don't see how Romney helped himself here.
