On MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" Tuesday, the veteran anchor sat down with former Senate majority leader and 1996 Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole to talk, ostensibly, about the current state of his party and the rise of Donald Trump. But the Kansas Republican had something else on his mind. And that something else was how much he dislikes Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

In a question about what Dole makes of Trump, the former Senate leader quickly turned matters to Cruz. "He's not traditional Republican conservative," Dole said of the Texan. "Achievements are shutting down the government twice, and calling the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, a liar on the Senate floor. It violates the rules of the Senate.  And he doesn't have a single Senate supporter."

Bob Dole is irrelevant.

Didn't realize the guy who twice failed to make it to the White House was even still alive.

The fact that the GOP actually nominated him to be Preezie still makes my mind boggle.

And to make matters worse they went on to nominate three others like him.

Yup, and what they don't understand is the base is so freaking angry w/ them, that is why someone like Trump (and to a lesser extent IMO, Cruz) are killing the polls.
