Former Senator Bob Dole of Kansas endorsed Jeb Bush for president on Wednesday, saying he believed that the former Florida governor was the best qualified candidate — and also making clear that he still held a grudge against Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

They need to leave the poor old man alone.
God how old is he?I like Bob Dole especially when Clinton was in office.They had to dig deep for this endorsement.

Jeb fail...again
I agree.
Talk about the kiss of death.
Bob Dull!
+1 for Cruz! lol
Bush’s campaign needs a shot of Viagra. Not that Dole is going to help much. =)
Bob Dole is still around? Who would have thunk it?

Juan McLame, Bob Dull, Mitt, oh yeah, Jeb is right up there with the label LOSER.
And one might say
‘The poor man needs to leave US alone’
However, Veterans Day and all, he did have his deserved say and we thank him for his service in the military. Not so much for his service in DC
GO CRUZ!!
.
Bub Dull has removed all doubt:
Cruz is da man!

That’s funny!!!
