You think? I’m sure he was GOP but ran as an independent.

I believe he worked for Clinton. Why else would he re-appear in 1996 after going underground for 4 years?

Clinton won 49.2% of the popular vote, while Dole won 40.7% and Perot won 8.4%.

I always respected Bob Dole and would have liked to have him as a loyal America First president. RIP patriot Bob Dole.

Perot and Clinton both were confections conjured up by the Deep State.

Bob Dole, on the other hand, was a true American Patriot.

As I remember he was wounded in WWII by a Nazi 88 shell unlike Dick’head’ Blumenthal and catsup Kerry. But I also remember he was one of the main driving forces for adding alcohol to motor fuel to pay off Archer Daniels Midlands and secure his election by forcing motorists all owner the country to buy agricultural products

Got his autograph for my (now late) father when Bob Dole spoke from an outdoor stage in a given state. Had to yell and scream to get his attention over the crowd begging for the autograph for my WWII Veteran father, I said. He heard me, moved toward me against the Secret Service's wishes and gave me the autograph on an envelope I had. He and my father were awesome men.

I did not like how the Secret Service treated me and have never forgotten it. Here's the picture of it.

A true patriot. A man of class in the business of politics, where class is forgotten.
Bob Dole was the real deal. The Bushes, Clintons, Obamas, Cuomos and such are rabble in the gutter when compared to Bob Dole.
RIP Bob Dole and thank you for your service.

I started losing faith in the American people when they twice chose a military hating draft dodger, over two decorated WWII veterans. I remember some scumbag leftist (can’t recall if it was a politician or media) mocked Senator Dole for his awkward movements and was rebuked for being unaware of his wartime disability. I honestly don’t know if George Washington himself could get elected today with the electoral corruption aided and abetted by the MSM and Big Tech.
