Mr. Dole is the only former Republican presidential nominee who backs Mr. Trump after 2005 video

Former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole said he is standing by Donald Trump after a decade-old recording emerged in which the Republican presidential nominee speaks in crude sexual terms about women.

Mr. Dole, the Republican Party’s presidential pick in 1996, is the only former GOP nominee to express support for Mr. Trump.

Bob Dole knows Trump is still strong after this.

These Republicans like Ryan and McCain are like the Captains of the S.S. Oceanos or S.S. Concordia, first sign of trouble, EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!

Exactly! They will come crawling back when Trump gains in the polls. But if Trump wins it will be finito benito for them regardless, as well it should be.

Excellent. Let these never Trump b*stards know that we're voting for Trump and against them. We're better of with dems who oppose us rather than GOPe snakes.

Globalists vs Trump

It really that simple.

The globalists have been running America into the ground now for more than one entire generation.

It is that simple.

Trump is the only person standing for America.

Dole stands up also. Well done.

Ok ole time Freepers....

Remember Dole had to endure running against the Clinton's. He wants them beat, once and for all. He fought them in the Senate, especially on the Balanced Budget Amendment, and Dole could get too 66 but he wanted the 67 and not have it go down in History as a less than honorable vote...

However, my question is...

Does Dole harbor some animosity going back to Nixon, aka Hillary on the Watergate Commission? He was in the Senate at the time.

I'd love to know if anyone here has an inside skinny on a Nixon-Dole relationship...
