John Boehner, who resigned as House Speaker in October of last year, recently spoke with VICE News and shared his feelings about Donald Trump.
In the interview, which was broadcast on Tuesday, Boehner said of the GOP candidate, “He’s not a conservative— he’s barely a Republican. He kind of became a Republican in order to run. But his ideas, when you can get to them, are frankly more in the direction that I would want the country to go to than Hillary Clinton.”
Boehner notes that though he does like Hillary Clinton, he just doesn’t feel her plans differ from President Obama’s.
The former Speaker continued, “While Donald wasn’t my first choice, wasn’t my second choice...wasn’t even my third choice, he’s the nominee so I’m going to vote for him.”
