Sunday on a special edition of Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” former Sen. Bob Dole, the 1996 Republican presidential nominee, criticized Sen. Ted Cruz
, a candidate for the 2016 Republican nomination, on the eve of the Iowa Caucuses.
Dole ripped Cruz for being “an extreme conservative” and argued Cruz would shut down the government given the opportunity.
“My candidate is Jeb Bush and I wish I could see him more on Fox today. But I think we have a number of good candidates who are Republicans and we have Cruz, who I don’t think is a Republican,” Dole said. “He is an extreme conservative. There is no one like him in the Senate. No one likes him in the Senate.

“I doubt that he’s a Republican,” Dole added. “He can’t run as an extreme conservative. He’s a RINO — he’s a Republican in name only.”

So a has-been ex-Senator who failed as Senate Leader, failed at Republican Presidential nominee thinks his model for success is the one America needs?
His Alzheimer’s is getting pretty serious if he thinks anyone listens to his drooling
I really lime Elizabeth Dole until I found out she was taking a 500,000.00 a year salary from the Red Cross just shameful!!!!
This from a guy who thought being the spokesperson for viagra while running for President was a good idea.
Who is Phyllis? I have no clue.
Bob Dole seems to really have something against Ted Cruz, like it’s personal.
LOL.
Well I guess it takes one RINO to know another. Dole was never anything but a Liberal Republican.
Bob, keep your irrelevant butt out of Republican matters and, for that matter, all of politics. Bob, you are a loser, go quietly!
To Dole, a True Republican is an anti-Conservative Statist.
Rubio admitted that the American people were against it. He is still for amnesty.
Says the tax collector for the welfare state.
I wonder who wrote his talking points.
“”I doubt that he’s a Republican,” Dole added. “He can’t run as an extreme conservative. He’s a RINO - he’s a Republican in name only.””
Well, It takes one to know one, right Bob! Most of us would agree that you’re certainly a RINO. As for Cruz, I doubt he’d fit that description. My problem wth Ted is that I don’t think he’s an “extreme conservative” either.
Mr. Dole was a great American and a warrior. But he fell victim of inside the beltway dementia. Sad.
> That is kind of funny coming from Dole... wasn’t he one of the RINO founding fathers...
Exactly — King RINO calling others RINOs? Shoulda stuck with Viagra ads.
there aren’t enough conservatives to form their own party
Dole drinks TEA with his left hand, i.e. he is clueless.
