On MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" Tuesday, the veteran anchor sat down with former Senate majority leader and 1996 Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole to talk, ostensibly, about the current state of his party and the rise of Donald Trump. But the Kansas Republican had something else on his mind. And that something else was how much he dislikes Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
In a question about what Dole makes of Trump, the former Senate leader quickly turned matters to Cruz. "He's not traditional Republican conservative," Dole said of the Texan. "Achievements are shutting down the government twice, and calling the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, a liar on the Senate floor. It violates the rules of the Senate. And he doesn't have a single Senate supporter."
Later, Mitchell probed as to whether Dole could or would vote for Trump next November. Dole said he would because he can't bring himself to vote for Hillary Clinton. Then she asked about Cruz, and Dole joked, "I might oversleep that day," before adding: " 'Cause he used to make these speeches. 'Remember President Dole, do you remember President McCain.' The inference was that we were all a bunch of liberals, and only he is a true conservative. And he uses the word 'conservative' more than he ever uses the word 'Republican.' So, it would be difficult." (continued)

So THAT's the campaign strategy Romney followed!
He looked like a QUEEN!!!! He had on more make-up that UNCLE MILTIE BERLE when he was posing as a WOMAN!!! GO AWAY BOB DOLE, you LOSER!!
I doubt it, Vet, for no one cares what this old man thinks. This springs from his own senile mind, he’s clearly offended by Cruz having pointed out that he (Dole) lost to Clinton.
In my country, dole is a term for unemployment insurance.
I guess it’s all about the same thing then.
Mr. Dole, next time you miss a dose of your meds, DO NOT double up! Vivid delusions of one’s vastly inflated importance are part of the side effects.
Your full kettle of Sleepytime Tea should be coming on a tray just about now.
LOL
Bob viagra on the dole? lol I had to vote for him because it was his turn. Not any more.
He’s 92.
.
Dole wouldn’t have said a word, were it not for the fact that the Cruz tsunami is rolling over them.
.
I respect him for his service in the Army and his taking wounds while there. That’s about it.
So 20 years have passed and NOW Andrea Mitchell and her douche network care what Dole has to say? This couldn’t be more obvious - just another hit piece on a Republican.
Mr. 3rd person is still alive? Maybe there is some formaldehyde in that Viagra.
I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.

It’s got me questioning why the disinterest in Trump. Is he already over and we just don’t know it? Or has the ostracization from the general discourse started?
Well, they tried it in '08 and '12. I guess they figure third time's a charm?
“He’s not traditional Republican conservative,” Dole said of the Texan.
...
Thank God. And Bob Dole not liking him is an endorsement to me.
Senator Bob Dole is one of the reasons the country is in the s—hole.
As long as the government is passing bills, spending money, screwing the nation and getting its butt kissed, then men like Senator Bob Dole are happy as can be.
Who cares what the has been, and never was, Bob Dole has to say? Just another worthless and corrupt politician.
Yet another reason to like Cruz!!!

>> “ just another hit piece on a Republican.” <<

Not just any Republican, but the only one they fear.
