It shouldn’t come as a surprise that former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has emerged to champion House Speaker John Boehner, who has publicly lost the support of several representatives in the last few days. Gingrich credits Boehner with the fact that there are “more House GOP than any time since 1928.”
I am deeply committed to the reelection of Speaker John Boehner. With his leadership there are more House GOP than any time since 1928

@newtgingrich @toddstarnes Don't credit Boehner. Any pig can fly in a hurricane. GOP surged b/c public sensed lack of leadership of POTUS.

That's funny. I didn't see Boehner at my polling station on Nov. 4th
It was 'We The People' voting a GOP majority. Ass.@newtgingrich

There might be more Republicans in the House, but the conservatives who have been elected have often had to defeat entrenched moderates who, like Boehner, have lost touch with the GOP base. The question is, what has Boehner really done for the GOP?
