Republicans Find Themselves in a Terrible Position
At this point in his career, John Boehner has the luxury of being able to tell the truth, since he’s no longer a viable Republican political candidate.
Isn’t that, in and of itself, disgusting? As long as you have even an iota of potential in GOP politics, you either perpetuate Trump’s lies, or go back to ambulance chasing or lobbying for the planet-destroyers, or whatever other revolting professional you had before your “public service” aspirations.
It’s not like you or I never lie. Occasionally, even the most honest among us finds himself in a position where fibbing is the best way out of an awkward position. But decent people hate to find themselves in that situation.
It’s hard for most of us to even imagine fashioning our lives around nonstop lies. I’m not a billionaire king, but at least I wake up every morning in the comfort of knowing that I’m not Donald Trump.
