Phantom 2,536 Posted February 22, 2016 Endorses Rubio for the Presidency: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/exclusive-bob-dole-endorses-marco-rubio-2016-race/story?id=37117597 Video included. well there goes his mental health only a while now before it comes out that he is suffering from Alzheimers. Well, given that Dole is a Republican. Which Republican candidate do you think he would be better of endorsing? I wonder who both former President Bush's are going to endorse now that Jeb has quit.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted March 6, 2016 Bob Dole still very active and giving an interview to Newsweek: http://europe.newsweek.com/bob-dole-donald-trump-cruz-explain-your-letter-431828?rm=eu He is losing his eyesight and will undergo medical tests soon. He shows up daily at his law firm. He endorses Marco Rubio after Jeb Bush's departure. They actually ask him whether he believes that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer...

GossipGabe 333 Posted May 7, 2016 Bob Dole supports Donald Trump Now that he is the only remaining Republican candidate, who else would Dole support? Perhaps Bernie for the LOLs?

Switch 141 Posted May 7, 2016 Horse feathers! As already stated, who else would they support? SC It's an option to support nobody by not voting. Some countries have the option to enter an empty ballot, which essentially works as a "none of the above" option, but I guess that doesn't work in the US.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted May 7, 2016 Bob Dole supports Donald TrumpNow that he is the only remaining Republican candidate, who else would Dole support? Perhaps Bernie for the LOLs? And why would people care about whom a 93 year-old, senile unsuccessful presidential candidate supports? It's notable because the only two former Republican presidents still breathing, as well as the other two failed Republican nominees have all refused to endorse Trump. And however old, or potentially senile, Bob Dole, he is one of the true elders if the Republican party. His endorsement, or lack thereof, is significant in the civil war currently engulfing the Republican party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,988 Posted May 7, 2016 Horse feathers! As already stated, who else would they support? SC It's an option to support nobody by not voting. Some countries have the option to enter an empty ballot, which essentially works as a "none of the above" option, but I guess that doesn't work in the US. In Nevada you can vote none of the above. Often times on Presidential or Midterm elections in the Us when they show Nevada results it will show None of the above % below whatever the Democrat or Republican has. In the other 49 states you can absoutely leave any race on the ballot blank if you do not want to vote Democrat,Republican or a 3rd party candidate. Often times when they show vote totals in the Presidential race for a state and the Senate race the numbers are slightly higher for one or the other so sometimes people indeed leave votes blank out of not liking the options it's just not reported %5 of voters choose blank.

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted July 19, 2016 Bob Dole is attending the republican convention and he looks much better than I thought he would .He was even able to stand up for a few seconds, with some help. His hands were a bit claw like though. Reckon he'll last a few years yet ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted July 19, 2016 Hmmm....I couldn't decide. He did look pretty good for 93 (better than Bush Sr. at a similar age) but the way they had to yank him out of that chair when Mrs Trump saluted him was pretty rough. And he couldn't lift his arms above chest height. He's one of those...could go next year, might make it to 100. Don't think he'll go in 2016 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiesa52 132 Posted July 19, 2016 I also watched when Melania Trump saluted Bob Dole- and they dragged him up out of his chair into a standing position- I don't think he looks too good at all! Still, he made it there! I think he could easily go in the next year or so- not much more than that! But if he lasts until 2017 he definitely should go on next year's list!

I agree that Bush Sr appears be in worse health than Dole. On the other hand, I do not know of anything terminal (like cancer) affecting him, so with a bit of luck and good medical care, he could linger on for a while. He might even break Ford's longevity record by a couple of weeks, like Ford did with Reagan's record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
