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."

Do the powers that be in the GOP-e think Republican voters actually believe this still in 2016? They really think we are still this stupid now, even with Trump winning the polls which basically should be telling them, "we're fed up and we're not going to take it anymore!
That was when it dawned on me that there is a "Club", no matter your public expression, that remains loyal to only their membership.
I listened carefully as best I could, but they never discussed politics or talked shop.
Cool though meeting them close up and personal. I ran across Bob Dole a lot in the 96 campaign at various airports on campaign stops. His wife ruled everything from the clothes he wore to the food he was allowed to eat. I don't think Bob Dole knew which way to turn at the bottom of a set of steps, and that was in 1996!
Kemp never traveled with them in their entourage.
What does “Skippy” aide, Jesse Helms mean?
They must have been courting Helms, for he retired in 2002 and the seat went to Elizabeth, but she could only hold it for one term. Lawton Chiles’ niece unseated her in 2008.
This is why you lost Bob Dole, because your a big government prick that has aided in the destruction of this country.
Dear Sen. Dole,
Thank you for your service in WWII. However, your political judgement is almost as bad as that of that other decorated veteran, John McCain.
Remain retired in peace... and quiet.
How did you reach the conclusion that he's not brain dead? I'm not seeing it.
Cruz sure has the right enemies.
Agreed. I’ve never liked Dole. Liberal douche weasel...
“The dark tax collector for the welfare state.”
Bobdole.
Jeez, Bob, cut back on the Viagra a little bit!
I doubt that he even knows Cruz! Some of the establishment types just putting words in his mouth!
Total clown. Losers can’t help themselves but to continue to be so.
I don't think Jesse Helms would be anyone's skippy aide! Thanks for the grammar check.
