Bob Dole Hates Ted Cruz With The Fire Of A Thousand Burning Suns
BuzzFeed ^ | 1/26/2016 | Andrew Kaczynski

Posted on 01/26/2016 2:14:08 PM PST by justlittleoleme

Bob Dole, the former senator from Kansas and the 1996 Republican nominee for president, made it clear in a radio interview with the Michael Smerconish Show on Monday how much he really dislikes Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Dole said that right now he's a "Jeb Bush man," but added that he thinks Donald Trump would be a better president than Ted Cruz because Trump would make deals and compromise with Congress. Here are some of things Dole said about Cruz:

"I don't think Ted is a Republican, he's a conservative extremist."

"He uses the title Republican because there's no conservative extremist ballot."

"You can't deal with him."

"If it come downs to Cruz and Trump, I'm a big Trump supporter."

"I think the worst is Cruz because he's so conservative...way way off in right field."

"I think we would lose, senators, governors, state officers, state legislatures, members of Congress. He doesn't get along with anybody, nobody really cares for him in Congress."

Another in a fine string of loser Republican establishment candidates. Although he seemed to find a niche when he became a Viagra salesman.

As "We the People" watch liberal democrats and republicans alike take our hard earned money and give it to folks we would never would have even dreamed of financially supporting, well ... the middle class is evolving into conservative extremists as a block. I'm proud to say we on FR have been on the leading edge of the evolution.

If there’s one thing Bob Dole knows something about, it’s Bob Dole.

Great quote! Men with the courage of their convictions are hard to find these days.

A politician with integrity and conviction is like.....well, it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Or something like that.

It’s pretty close to being a Pajama Boy.

Cruz lies??? Geez, Trump is possibly pathological. And the worst thing is that I’m afraid he believes his own lies.

"Dole is only one of many that hate Cruz."

Yep. And it's all the right people: McConnell, John McStain, Goober Graham, John Boehner, Trent Lott, Orrin Hatch.

If any one of those DIDN'T hate him, I'd be alarmed.

Go, Ted!

Loser Dole is scared to death that Cruz might win, and thereby put the lie to the GOPe mantra that republicans need to "reach across the aisle" and "work with democrats".

So Cruz wins?

Then what?

Not hard to picture Trump doing crony deals with McConnell and Schumer and Ryan and Pelosi.

Trump is the new Obama, so many deluded supporters.

Lemmings...

If Bob Dole still feels that way after four hours. . . He should see a Doctor.

Who has to work with people in Congress who don't agree with him or like him.

And that's just the Republicans.
