I can't say this surprises me. Ted Cruz is the worst.

Bob Dole: "Nobody likes Ted Cruz"

Nobody likes surgery either, but sometimes, it's necessary.
Ted Cruz is not surgery.
Who cares what bob Dole thinks. He was a worthless republican.
President George W. Bush was caught recently in an unguarded moment. He said essentially the same thing ... roughly: "I just do not like the guy."

Well, at least Steve King likes him. He'll always have that.
I am not sticking up for Cruz, but it is interesting to me that he is getting dumped on pretty good in just the past couple of days by multiple R's. That actually makes me a little more interested in him, oddly. It is also a bit ironic for Mr. Dole to call someone out for not being very likable, I don't remember him as Mr. Congeniality or Mr. Popular back in his day.
Everyone is getting pretty wound up now...on both sides.
The more establishment "Republicans" dump on him, the more I like him.
Cruz truly isn't liked by many in the Republican establishment, and the freak seems to relish in it.
Bob dole was very well liked by both parties when he was in the senate
The establishment is intent on destroying Cruz. They fear him and his solutions. That's all I need to know to vote for him
Dems love the idea 'everyone!' hates Cruz.
You're too stupid to understand why R are coming out against Ted...and at the same time now jumping on the Trump bandwagon (which they used to hate...but now love?). They hate him not because he's a jerk...but because he doesn't buy into their bullshit and does what he says. The most dangerous person in DC right now is anyone who actually has convictions and sticks to them. Now I'm not going to pretend that there aren't cases...distorted or otherwise, that can be made about Cruz in that regard. But by in large he is who he says he is....and has stuck to his guns even against the R party.
I've said this to everyone who's supporting Trump. Ted Cruz is the anti-establishment, conservative, constitutional candidate that 98% of Trump supporters wish / want / hope that Trump really is...but probably wouldn't be if elected. Trump scares me a lot more than Cruz.

I hate to say this, but you're right. The more the establishment dumps on anyone from either side, the more I like them.
Being sane is subjective. I find anyone supporting the status quo to be insane.
They've got off Trump's case because he's evidently made a deal with them....a deal driven not by their love of Trump...but by their fear of Cruz as Ted started pushing up the polls.
I disagree. There are objective data points to reality. If you hold to them, you are sane. If you insist on a fantastical view, you are not.
Yes, that's "sane" too. We all made a deal with Trump last weekend. He flew us all down to Mar a Lago to sign away our souls.
Look at the status quo, see where it has taken us. War, debt, poverty, loss of liberties...maybe you can tell us what the positives are?
This.
A lot of people only remember his designated role as hatchet man in the '76 election and the PR onslaught during the Florida debacle. Outside of those times he always seemed like a congenial guy and I was under the impression he was well liked and respected.
I always liked Bob Dole.
And you're a worthless piece of sranje, so what's your point?
Bob Dole was very well liked and respected by both parties, but you wouldn't know that since you're too stupid to understand these things.
Lol. Just because no one likes him that doesn't mean he is antiestablishment. Ted couldn't be more establishment unless he was born in America.
If you are blind to all the positives you currently enjoy, I weep for your black little heart. This is a human golden age. Life has never been better you grumpy man.
I admit, I was a bit surprised for multiple people to recall Mr. Dole in such a positive light, as I seem to recall a personality that was seen as more snappy with folks, etc. So, I read up some and sure enough, in the main, he was well regarded by a wide range of people. So that is very valid and I acknowledge that my characterization of him was not entirely correct, nor was it entirely incorrect.
Because it is also true that he had his moments where his temper and/or demeanor led others to think he was rude and churlish, etc. So there is some truth on that side too, but it is probably more correct overall to regard him as a person that worked well with many and earned the respect of a wide variety of people, something that too few do today.
Being worthless hasn't stopped you from expelling your own form of stupidity.
Actually, from all I've heard Dole is a very funny, likable guy in person. He was just a terrible campaigner and came off as grumpy and standoffish in interviews and on the campaign trail. Too bad really, because was and is an outstanding American and a true war hero (at least to anyone other than Donald Trump) who has dedicated his life to serving his country.
Bob Dole was well respected and liked on both sides of the asile. He was a combat wounded veteran who always took a squinty eyed view of military and fiscal adventures. He was refered to many times as the third Senator from Iowa.
Due to what? Technology? We continue to lose liberties at an alarming rate, so it obviously isn't the government.
