Former House Speaker
Boehner calls Cruz
‘Lucifer in the lesh’
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Former
House Speaker John Boehner unloaded
on Republican presidential candidate
Ted Cruz during a talk to college
students, calling the Texas senator
“Lucifer in the lesh.”
Speaking at a town hall-style event
at Stanford University Wednesday,
Boehner called front-runner Donald
Trump his “texting buddy,” but offered
a more graphic response when asked
about Cruz.
“Lucifer in the lesh,” the former
speaker said. “I have Democrat friends
and Republican friends. I get along
with almost everyone, but I have never
worked with a more miserable son of a
bitch in my life.”
His comments were irst reported by
Stanford’s student newspaper.
Cruz, campaigning in Fort Wayne,
Indiana, Thursday ahead of the state’s
May 3 primary, responded by saying
Boehner was letting his “inner Trump
come out” with his remarks. He
attempted to turn the criticism into a
slam on Trump.
Clinton backers ‘feel the
Bern’ of angry Sanders
supporters
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nancy
Schumacher says she just wanted to
do her civic duty, and so she heeded
the call to become a superdelegate for
Hillary Clinton. But in the year of the
angry voter, not even an administrative
assistant from Elk River, Minnesota, can
escape the outrage.
“Some of the (phone and email)
messages called me names. Some
of them called Hillary names. And
others said I was a stupid bitch and
something bad will happen to me,” said
Schumacher, a Democratic committee
member. “It’s kind of hard to take
sometimes.”
Bernie Sanders deied expectations
to turn his long-shot presidential bid
into a real threat for the Democratic
nomination. Now, as his path to
the White House becomes all-but-
impossible, some of his supporters are
PORTLAND (AP) —
Republican John Kasich
and Democrat Bernie
Sanders rolled through
Oregon on Thursday,
hoping to keep their ailing
campaigns alive with rallies
the state rarely sees from
presidential hopefuls ahead
of its mid-spring primary.
In this year’s presiden-
tial race when every dele-
gate counts, Oregon’s May
17 primary — where 74
Democratic delegates and
28 Republican delegates
are up for grabs — has
made national headlines as
a possible game-changer
in determining the parties’
nominees.
But after front-runners
Donald Trump and Hillary
Clinton gained almost
insurmountable
leads
earlier this week, Kasich
and Sanders arrived in
Oregon with grim chances
of changing course.
Still, the parties’ two
underdogs told Oregonians
they refused to give up,
especially Kasich.
At a town hall near
downtown Portland, one of
two in Oregon that day, the
Ohio governor told roughly
400 supporters that he
decided to stick it out after
talking to his wife the night
before.
“I said, ‘What do you
think sweetie? I’m inclined
to keep going.’ And she
looked at me and she said
simple words ... ‘The
people need a choice, and
if you don’t give them a

Hill in Washington.
lashing out at a system they believe was
engineered against them from the start.
While Sanders decries a “rigged”
economy, some of his backers see signs
of corruption everywhere — even in
the party their candidate hopes to lead.
Some have turned their frustration on
superdelegates, the party insiders whose
ability to back either candidate give
them an outsized role in picking the
nominee.
The superdelegates include public
oficials: governors, former presidents
and even Sanders himself. But they
also include people like Schumacher,
volunteers who’ve generally stayed
behind the scenes.
Oregon bakery iles appeal
in gay wedding cake case
PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon
bakery owners who denied service to a
same-sex couple are arguing that a state
ruling ordering them to pay $135,000 in
damages violates state and federal laws.
The Oregonian reports that bakery
owners Aaron and Melissa Klein iled a
brief with the Oregon Court of appeals
this week arguing the Oregon Bureau
of Labor and Industries violated the
Kleins’ rights as artists to free speech,
their rights as Oregonians to religious
freedom and their rights as defendants to
a due process.
Damages were awarded in July for
emotional suffering caused by Sweet
Cakes by Melissa, which three years
BEIRUT (AP) — Airstrikes and
artillery killed more than 60 people in
the past 24 hours in Aleppo, including
dozens at a hospital in a rebel-held
neighborhood, as Syria’s largest city
was turned once again into a major
battleground in the civil war, oficials
said Thursday.
Aid agencies warn that Aleppo is on
the brink of a humanitarian disaster with
the collapse of a two-month cease-ire
and stalled peace talks.
The intensiied violence — by far the
worst since the partial cease-ire began
— coincides with reports of a military
buildup outside Aleppo that many fear
is a prelude for a government attempt
to force a complete siege of the city’s
neighborhoods.
Battle-hardened residents were
shocked by the bloodshed. Opposition
activists accused the government of
carpet-bombing rebel-controlled areas,
while Syrian state media said more than
1,000 mortar rounds and rockets were
ired at government-held districts, killing
22 people.
Israel treads carefully with
claim to Golan
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has
sparked a new diplomatic brushire by
declaring that the Golan Heights, seized
from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war,
is and should remain “under Israel’s
sovereignty permanently.”
But following tough international
criticism, Israeli oficials said
Netanyahu’s statements had been
misconstrued and that a 1981 decision to
apply Israeli law to the strategic plateau
fell short of annexation.
The debate offers a window into a
more nuanced Israeli perspective that,
despite statements from the country’s
hard-line political leadership, continues
to leave the door open, just barely, to a
peace deal when Syria’s civil war inally
winds down.

choice, who will?’ “ Kasich
said.
Kasich began courting
voters in Oregon and New
Mexico this week as part of
a trade with rival Ted Cruz
for Indiana, an unusual
strategy that so far hasn’t
been fruitful in derailing
Trump’s lead.
Also on Thursday, the
irst-ever public Republican
poll for Oregon showed
Trump with a double-digit
lead while Kasich trailed
in last place, according to
Portland-based Hoffman
Research Group.
The outlook is also bleak
for Sanders, even in Oregon,
where his overwhelming
popularity among the
state’s progressive elec-
torate is at odds with the
handful of super delegates,
such as Gov. Kate Brown,
who have already endorsed
rival Clinton.
But
the
Vermont
senator also gave no sign
of surrender during a rally
earlier that day in Spring-
ield, about 100 miles south
of Portland — marking his
third Oregon visit.
Speaking to many young
supporters from the nearby
hometowns of Oregon’s
two major public univer-
sities, Sanders pointed out
the primaries and caucuses
he’s won thus far. He
repeated campaign themes
that align with the views of
many Oregon progressives,
such as correcting income
inequality through higher
taxes on the rich.
