Bob Dole, the former senator from Kansas and the 1996 Republican nominee for president, made it clear in a radio interview with the Michael Smerconish Show on Monday how much he really dislikes Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Dole said that right now he's a "Jeb Bush man," but added that he thinks Donald Trump would be a better president than Ted Cruz because Trump would make deals and compromise with Congress. Here are some of things Dole said about Cruz:

"I don't think Ted is a Republican, he's a conservative extremist."

"He uses the title Republican because there's no conservative extremist ballot."

"You can't deal with him."

"If it come downs to Cruz and Trump, I'm a big Trump supporter."

"I think the worst is Cruz because he's so conservative...way way off in right field."

"I think we would lose, senators, governors, state officers, state legislatures, members of Congress. He doesn't get along with anybody, nobody really cares for him in Congress."

Is he actually not brain dead yet?

Bob Dole used to be a man seventy years ago.

But that was seventy years ago.

[Reagan Disciple]

An anti-Dole Conservative couldn't ask for a better endorsement of Cruz.

[Talisker]

Bob who?

[Jewbacca]

And President Dole knows a thing about winning Presidential elections, I tell ya.

[Dr. Sivana]

Dole might have used the same language when he ran against Reagan in 1980.

“Trump would make deals and compromise with Congress.”

...uh, “Compromise with congress”? I don’t think so.

[skeeter]

Anyone with such a huge investment in the State and state power will hate anyone who challenges the primacy of the State.

[WENDLE]

Whom are you quoting?

[Army Air Corps]

“That Ted Cruz is a mean guy. You know it, I know, and Donald Trump knows it. Now, get outta here so I can make a Viagra commercial.”

[grimalkin]

Bob Dole is an ass.

[Uncle Miltie]

[Major Matt Mason]

Funny thing, Bob, but conservatives aren't the ones screwing up this country. Your "moderate" pals and the Democrats, on the other hand, have their fingerprints all over this mess.

[catfish1957]

Hey Viagra Bob...we Cruz supporters thank you. We couldn;t have used a better endorsement.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Could be hemorrhoids.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Does Bob Dole need a picture in front of him to remind him who Cruz is? He probably drools on while his memory kicks in.

[mtrott]

Loser Dole is scared to death that Cruz might win, and thereby put the lie to the GOPe mantra that republicans need to “reach across the aisle” and “work with democrats”.

Bob Dole?

He’s as significant as Nelson Rockefeller and Charles Percy these days, and they’re both dead.
