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.”

Hope Cruz sends Dole a thank you card. This is great news for the Cruz campaign.
I am so disgusted with the party elite. These people are beyond stupid.
Bob Dole is 92 YEARS OLD + FOX NEWS is giving HIM a VOICE? LMAO! To hell with Fox News.

Hi, I’m Bob Dole and Bob Dole says..................some really stupid sh*t! Bob Dole, if Cruz is a RINO then Bob Dole has to be a card carrying communist.

Bob Dole, a grateful nation thanks you for your service and sacrifice in WWII.
Now STFU.
Bob Dole seems to really have something against Ted Cruz, like it’s personal.
I wonder what his FR screen name is.
LOL! Canuck Teddy Boy is suffering from BeckInMyThroatitis...among other maladies
A political cynic might suspect that some Cruz supporter is behind this not-exactly-scurrilous accusation.
(Dole is old, he has a great WWII record, so I won't say anything too critical out of respect for the guy.)
.
Bob Dole thinks Bob Dole isn’t the lucid Bob Dole that Bob Dole might have been earlier in Bob Dole’s life.
If Ted Cruz is a RINO we might as well pack up and go home.
Ha ha ha!
I’m Bob Dole!
rino should only be used for candidates for public office that switch parties because of political expediency...example Michael Bloomberg switched parties to run for mayor of new York but if he thought he could win as a democrat he would have ran as one...
Labeling some of the les conservative as rino or as dole labeled cruise who defiantly is more conservative then most the party is wrong. the republican party has to be inclusive realizing there will be differences in how we believe government should operate. I myself feel I am conservative but I know that some times I may have a more liberal view point on something. Someone could easily claim that I am a rino because of that viewpoint despite the fact that in my 31 rears of voting I have never voted democrat and unless things change radically I never will in the future
OK. So according to Dole, a RINO is someone who is "an extreme conservative."
This sums up EVERYTHING that is wrong with the GOPe in one clueless little spasm.
what a compliment... Bob DOLE against Cruz.. the establishment hate him... the establishment love TRUMP because he is one of THEM.. even 20 percent of the Dems want CRUZ.. what does that tell you.
Oh, Bob... you say that as if it is a bad thing. LOL.
meant to say the establishment HATE CRUZ...what does that tell you.
“I’d like to talk to you about ED - Elizabeth Dole.”
