Had dinner with him at the Midwest Republican Leadership conference in Des Moines back in 1987 when I was with the Haig campaign. A Ripon Republican but a true patriot.

I will never forget his work on trying to get the balanced budget act passed. Close only counts in horse shoes and he was close.

God bless, Bob Dole. He is more alert now than many other Republicans half his age. Glad I voted for him in 1996.

I saw President Trump’s tweet with a copy of Dole’s statement of praise an hour or so ago.

There’s no doubt about Dole’s RINO credentials but if he wants to praise Donald J. Trump I will “Amen” it.

Dole BETTER WATCH IT. Praising Trump will wreck his political future with the Republican Party.

Robert Dole would have made a great president. Stature. Proud to be an American. In 88’ it was his temper. In 96’ he was categorized as feeble. America is no longer good enough for the Robert Doles.

Had my issues with Dole in the past, but this is about the most clearheaded statement I’ve seen from anyone for or against Trump from within the party. Kudos to Mr Dole.

In particular, it’s abundantly clear the Dole recognizes that Obama shrunk from American leadership and Trump is quickly restoring it.
