Bob Dole, the former senator from Kansas and the 1996 Republican nominee for president, made it clear in a radio interview with the Michael Smerconish Show on Monday how much he really dislikes Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Dole said that right now he's a "Jeb Bush man," but added that he thinks Donald Trump would be a better president than Ted Cruz because Trump would make deals and compromise with Congress. Here are some of things Dole said about Cruz:

"I don't think Ted is a Republican, he's a conservative extremist."

"He uses the title Republican because there's no conservative extremist ballot."

"You can't deal with him."

"If it come downs to Cruz and Trump, I'm a big Trump supporter."

"I think the worst is Cruz because he's so conservative...way way off in right field."

"I think we would lose, senators, governors, state officers, state legislatures, members of Congress. He doesn't get along with anybody, nobody really cares for him in Congress."

go away bob and shut up.

he thinks Donald Trump would be a better president than Ted Cruz because Trump would make deals and compromise with Congress.

I remember when Dole was "the establishment." Oh, wait - he still is "the establishment."

But I thought Trump was the "anti-establishment" candidate. Doh!

“I’m a big Trump supporter” - Bob Dole.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Dole is only one of many that hate Cruz.

Senator Dole was a strong minority leader in a Congress owned by the RATS. We in Kansas proudly sent him back time after time. Over the years, sad to say, he has lost that fiery demeanor. I realize he is up in his years but I don't like seeing such a man turn on the party base that re-elected him several times.

“I don’t think Ted is a Republican, he’s a conservative extremist”

Coming from the “tax collector for the welfare state”, I’d say this is about as high an accolade as they come.

[Still Thinking]

"I don't think Ted is a Republican, he's a conservative extremist."

Surprising honesty from an election-losing surrender monkey, admitting that the GOPe and conservatism have nothing to do with one another.

[MrEdd]

Bob the filthy bitch’sihusband.

That is how I usually think of him.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Hey! I was his turn!

[Uncle Miltie]

“Former Senator Bob Dole opposed Ronald Reagan in 1980. Dole feared Reagan would cause substantial losses for the GOP. In fact, Dole was so terrified of what Reagan would do to the GOP that in March of 1980, as Reagan was on course to secure the GOP’s nomination, Dole publicly and privately urged former President Gerald Ford to get into the race to stop Reagan. This Bob Dole, the Dole who lost the 1996 election to Bill Clinton, thinks Donald Trump is way more viable as a candidate than Ted Cruz.”

I didn’t think anyone anywhere... was a “Jeb Bush man”

"I think the worst is Cruz because he's so conservative...way way off in right field."

Yes, Cruz is significantly more conservative then Trump. Real conservatives think that's a good thing.

"Trump would make deals and compromise with Congress."

Therein lies the hope of the beltway establishment.

[paintriot]

Wow! Did Dole really say that he hates Ted Cruz With The Fire Of A Thousand Burning Suns? That’s not sane.

[blackdog]

Bob Dole getting angry with hate? What's he gonna do, refuse his Geritol and grit his teeth? I guess Ted upsets his reruns of Lawrence Whelk and Roger Whitaker?

[WorkingClassFilth]

Bob, just go take one of your blue pills and go play by yourself.

It’s Cruz’s turn!

[Spirochete]

You know it, I know, and Donald Trump knows it. Now, get outta here so I can make a Viagra commercial.

Replace "I" with "Bob Dole", because he refers to himself in the third person.

[lurk]

Is this a quote from the past or is Sen Dole surprisingly still using oxygen?

[Army Air Corps]

True enough. I almost forgot about that.

[napscoordinator]

Dole is old school. He doesn’t take liars very lightly. I am sure that is why he is disappointed in Cruz. Heck everyone is disappointed in Cruz. He had a chance to be great but let his lies get in the way. No insurance. lie.....loans.....lie.....citizenship.....lie......immigration.....lie......and so on and so on. People get sick of liars pretty quickly.

Trump 2016!
