Too bad he didn’t make it to 100, he was apparently very enthusiastic about throwing THAT party. On the other hand, he was the only GOP ex-presidential candidate to endorse the orange error, according to the TV coverage today. Probably made no difference in outcome.
Yes, Bob Dole was a republican and, please remember, when he appeared in the Seate to push for some “handicapped” legislation, he WAS roundly greeted by his “fellow” republicans – but they refused to pass the legislation he wanted. Of course, what’s in the Senate, now, are not really republicans so he should have known better than to try to appeal to them.
By the way, on what he’s shown as tossing away – As a politician, Dole made a habit of carrying a pen in his right hand to prevent others from trying to shake it since he lost the use of his right arm in a war-time injury.
