Former Kansas senator and 1996 Republican nominee Bob Dole endorsed Donald Trump for president on Friday, calling for the GOP to unite around Trump in order to defeat Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee.
Dole's support gives the GOP presumptive nominee the support of another party elder on a day when other top Republicans announced their opposition. Trump inconspicuously announced the endorsement earlier on Friday at a rally in Omaha, Nebraska, as he ticked off the names of several prominent Republicans who have come around to his candidacy since he became the party's presumptive nominee earlier this week.

I am sure he said it in the third person just like that. Bob Dole: “Bob Dole endorses Donald Trump.”
Dole is still pissed about losing to Bubba. And its a slap at Ryan, who considers himself an acolyte of the late Jack Kemp...Dole’s running mate.
it is the internationalists that are NeverTrump. Dole not one. Remember his rant about Democrat Wars?
Bush crowd. Cheney aint one of them. He is a hawk.
I remember Dole saying Cruz came into the Senate as a Canadian citizen and also called Cruz a RINO, which I thought was kind of funny. Dole is an honorable man and a party loyalist. I’m really glad to see this. I got behind Dole when my guy (another nationalist) didn’t get the nomination so I feel it’s only fair he do the same for us.
Truth be told, I like Bob Dole as a person. His presidential campaign was the most uninspiring thing ever.
Go ahead show us where: You trumpers were making fun of Dole for months.
Grow up.
Some of you so called conservatives really do want Hillary.
Because you're so principled........
altura is part of that tiny band of self-righteous fanatics who is more interested in defeating Trump than in defeating Hillary.
The Weekly Standard and the Salem radio cabal will be pushing Romney or some other neocon spoiler as a third party candidate in order to give the fanatics a better opportunity to throw the election.
I doubt that Kemp would have. He was as hard core an open borders fanatic as there is. Kemp sided with illegal aliens against the people of California in the Prop 187 fight. As head of HUD he flew out here and forced Costa Mesa to give subsidized housing to illegal aliens. That treasonous fool would be running 3rd party to defend his precious illegals.
Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham both promised the country they would support the Republican nominee..These guys are honest?
How did I miss this? Oh, the media torpedoed it.
