Bob Dole: 'I'm a Trumper' but 'I'm sort of Trumped out'
The Hill ^ | 07/22/2021 | Mychael Schnell

Posted on 07/22/2021 9:44:45 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Republican Sen. Bob Dole (Kan.) told USA Today in an interview that “I’m a Trumper,” before adding later that “I’m sort of Trumped out, though.”

Dole, the former Senate majority leader and Republican candidate for president in 1996, was one of the few individuals from the GOP establishment to endorse Trump in 2016, and was the only former presidential nominee to go to the convention that nominated him.

While he said he is still a “Trumper,” he did break from the former president on the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, telling USA Today “he lost the election.”

“He lost the election, and I regret that he did, but they did,” Dole said. “He had Rudy Giuliani running all over the country, claiming fraud. He never had one bit of fraud in all those lawsuits he filed and statements he made.”
Good man, you say? I guess . . . after all, I get told by people on here how Jimmy Carter is a “good man” too . . .

Also, I kind of liked American energy independence, peace breaking out in the Middle East, lowest black unemployment in America EVAH, and America’s soldiers coming home from Afghanistan.

Trump didn’t give us men playing women’s sports, trannies reading stories to children at your public “library”, or any kind of racism, either.

Dole is expressing fatigue with the assault from the Left, as portrayed by the Leftist “Press”. His response matches that of most Karens, since his testosterone levels are about the same.

All the RINOs live and die by CNN and The View.

They carry the talking points from the Actors on TV.

There are no reporters or anchors - they are Actors.

Bob Dole is a good man and a combat wounded vet, but he was a terrible candidate in 1996.

Other Republican stinkers include McCain and Romney.

Didn’t he used to do ads for Viagra or something?

(And all this time we thought he was presidential timber)

The world knows Bob Dole for two things.

A nice man, who

1. Couldn’t achieve erections.
2. Was a gracious loser.

But he won’t speak out against it; instead, he parrots it.

I never heard that old school gentlemen blinded themselves to evil.

The Leftist “Press” doesn’t assign the assault from the Left, to the Left. They assign it to Trump.

Low-testosterone types, like Dole and America’s Karens become fatigued and accept the “Press’” assignment. He doesn’t know how to make the message stop, so he says he is “Trumped out”.

A lot of our troubles started long ago when Dole wasn’t taken seriously as a candidate, supposedly he was too old and we got more Clinton.

He would have been a damn good president.

I believe he was another victim of Perot.

Unfortunately, his running mate, Jack Kemp, had one of the all-time worst debate performances against Algore.

RINOs are liberals. After reading The Conscience of a Conservative (the Goldwater/Bozell book, not the Jeff Flake book), that is what I concluded.

If Bob were a Trumplican then he woulda stepped aside when he was running against Buchanan. Instead he labelled the whole branch extremist.

Bob Dole LOST. Handily. 20 years later the ‘extremist’ branch WON. Handily.
