More like consistent to the grave. He opposes Cruz for the exact same reason he opposed Reagan. Does that sound like e change in direction to you?

Excellent. The destruction of the GOPe slate is almost complete. They are even abandoning Rubio.

More so, it is settling the stage for down ballot campaigns across the country.

Ladies and gentlemen, I do believe that I can now declare that there are finally two parties again.

Most of us think of him as more like Samson: Didn’t drink; had wild hair; loved women; lethal to bet against him; slew Philistines with the jawbone of an ass; eventually destroyed the establishment. ;-)

-— Most of us think of him as more like Samson -—

That’s apparent.

I see him as a vacuum cleaner salesman with a bad haircut.

“Bob Dole, Who Opposed Ronald Reagan”

Shut up, he explained.

Naw, Trumps bigger than Reagan. Reagan never did what Trump has done, with the crowds and the lights and the show.

Two Corinthians!

Er wait, let me rephrase. A vote for Trump is a vote against Hey-soooos.

Bob Dole popping back up in the news makes me remember the 1988 Republican nomination contest. For those old enough to remember, the nomination came down to Bush, Dole and Pat Robertson. Talk about a horrible set of choices. I held my nose and voted for Dole.

re>Trump's supporters have the same brain disease as Hillary's supporters

You do know the Cruz's started by working for the Bush's and are in bed with Goldman Sachs? Now take your meds.

Bob Dole was right on the money....Ted Cruz would be an absolute disaster running against any Democrat!!! Cruz will get a smattering of “Conservative votes” in the general election....and that is all he will get!!! Donald Trump crosses into many sectors of American voters, Republicans, Conservatives, Moderates, Independents, Industrial labor Uinon workers, Blue Dog Democrats, Reagan Democrats, African-Americans, Hispanics, First Responders, etc., etc.!!!

In the world of reality....any Iowan Caucus voter that casts their vote for Ted Cruz is throwing their vote away...and, that “wasted” vote lays the groundwork for a Democrat POTUS victory....not to mention the total downfall & destruction of the American Republic!!! Fact is: Ted Cruz is political poison for, not only the Republican Party....but, more importantly, the entire American Republic. The Democrat Party is rubbing their hands waiting for the political gift that Td Cruz will bring forward, should he be selected as th GOP, POTUS nominee!!!

“GO DONALD TRUMP!!!”

Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump! Hey, maybe we can get a deal on those Roman columns Barack brought out in Denver?...

Nah, those columns were PEANUTS!
My columns are going to be even bigger! Nobody will have Roman columns like me. Very... very big columns. Really the best Roman columns, I tell you. And the I’ll make sure the Romans pay ME to use them, believe me.

Bob Dole? Let’s see. The GOP candidate for vice-president in 1976 who lost. The GOP candidate for president in 1996 who lost. And the man whose wife was unable to hold the Senate seat that Jesse Helms had for decades and was voted out of office after 1 term. Yep, we should listen to and obey everything he says/sarc.
