Down on Jeb’s Prospects, Bob Dole Says Marco Rubio is His Second Choice

Bob Dole likes South Carolina. “It was South Carolina that put me over the top in 1996,” he recalls in a lengthy phone interview. But, 20 years later, Jeb Bush, his chosen candidate in the 2016 race, is on the verge of a disappointing and potentially lethal finish.

That’s about it.

Please clap...

[Lady Heron]

Duh...he is the next rino in line and you just told everyone.

[jlindseyx42]

Wow, oh boy, Bob Dole’s endorsements are solid gold for me !

[US_MilitaryRules]

lol

[uncitizen]

As if we didn’t know...

[US_MilitaryRules]

Bob! Go take another viagra and remember your youth.

[mj1234]

Bob Dole is going to say ...what the RNC TELLS him !

I am more surprised he did not become confused and say:

Mclame or Romney-

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Bob Dole says, “Bob Dole likes Jeb Bush.”
Jeb Bush tanks.
Bob Dole says, “Bob Dole likes Marco Rubio.”
Marco Rubio tanks.
Bob Dole says, “Bob Dole likes Ben Carson.
Ben Caron tanks.

[Mastador1]

Dole is still alive?

He is past his “use by” date...

The only thing keeping Dole up are all those little blue pills he took.

[octex]

Hope this is another kiss of death from Dole, as it worked so well on Bush!

Of course Bush also had Graham. To equal that, Rubio now has Gowdy, whose hair stylist has apparently twisted his brain when creating those weird hair styles each week.

[Arm_Bears]

I don’t listen to, or take advice from, losers.

What a pineapple.

Trump revives the "Bush lied" meme, leaving the anti-Bush residue nothing to bitch about, no more alibis, and nowhere to go; meanwhile, sympathy builds a little for Jeb among those who won't (currently, yet) support The Donald, and votes get shed by some of his other competitors to the benefit of Bush. In a few years, when you get that new edition of the dictionary of the vernacular, look up "played like a fiddle" and see whose photo is at that entry.

>> “Trump revives the ‘Bush lied’ meme...” <<

Which is obviously a lie itself!

ISIS is currently using weaponry that was moved from Iraq to the Bekaa valley before the beginning of the war.

Is Trump to be praised for promoting that lie?

What a pathetic thing Dole is!

[Henchster]

OK, let’s get this right:

Bob Dole is telling Bob Dole that Bob Dole better realize that Bob Dole is no longer going to be able to support Bob Dole’s first choice, so Bob Dole is telling Bob Dole that Bob Dole is going to have to support Bob Dole’s second choice.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, I agree.

Such a shame too to see these guys return from the war with such great records and then melt down.

I wish he would just fade away and leave us in peace.
