At the Bob Dole Convention, in San Diego, Dole was really irritated that the vast majority of National Delegates, as well as the vast majority of Kansas Delegates, listed REAGAN as out “top Republican Hero” -— Dole forced the Kansas Delegation to visit the Nixon Library rather than visit the Reagan Library, as part of a “peace treaty” that the Conservatives had to make with the “Moderates” in Kansas.
I admire Dole in many ways, but Dole is not, and never has been, a Conservative. The guy does not even understand “Supply Side Economics” so you can’t even argue the point with him. I loved it when he picked Jack Kemp as a running mate, but then Dole muzzled Kemp and the rest is history.
Dole helped get them through Congress.

I guess so. But somebody like Dole is good to have around when Republicans start saying "deficits don't matter."
