Thanks for this, 98, a great way to honor a Great Man!
I am sure he was a good human being, but I voted for Perot.
And have never regretted it. I have always seen Trump as Perot 2.0, this time without withdrawing!
One of his stops was at 4 AM (or so) at the Bendix Diner in northern NJ. I took my son, then 13, to greet Dole.
ML/NJ
I’ll say this about Bob Dole. Sometimes I didn’t agree with some of the things that he did as Senate Majority leader but I respected the heck out of his decision to forgo that position in order to run for President saying that the run needed 100% commitment from him. He was horribly injured in WWII. In rehab for a very long time. You always saw him with a pen clasped in his hand. That hand, and arm never regained use from those injuries. It was very disheartening to see him lose to a no-good draft dodging, lying coke and sex addict.
thank you Ross Perot, you woke me up.
Dole, an infantry combat veteran of WW II, severely wounded in the brutal Italian campaign never spoke out about the scandal of Bill Clinton being drafted and refusing to serve, fleeing his country in wartime to avoid military service.
Dole was afraid of being savaged by the Corrupt Liberal News media if he made that an issue that would have won him the white house. As a result, Clinton became our Commander in Chief despite his craven record of cowardice.
Pretty ambiguous he still wants to do this
I like Dole but he was always set up by the GOP to be the loser , just like Mitt.
I was so impressed with Dole conducting this blitz, that I went to one of his rallies. It was held in the auditorium of our local high school. it was packed full, and everyone was checked through metal detectors by the secret service. It was great fun. It was done to prove he wasn’t ‘too old’ to be president, but he still lost.
