Dole's an old guy who hasn't done anything for people to object to for a few decades. What does Cruz gain by picking on an old guy he never served in the US Senate with and hasn't done anything to derail Cruz?

Dole preferring Trump as less of a threat to the party? So what?

Dole IS the Establishment.

The primaries have come down to who is the more assured anti-establishmentarian.

Dole’s hatred is the PERFECT foil by which Cruz can define his position.
