Mr Dole, 92, pulled no punches in his description of the strongly-tipped Texas senator, labelling him an “extremist” who no one liked, and who was not true to the values of the Republicans.
She added: “So when my own son is going through what he goes through coming back, I can certainly relate with other families who kind of feel these ramifications of PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with”.
One attendee, Lauri White said with a wry smile, “honestly, some people were excited to see Madonna, and I wanted to see Trump, so here I am”.
“My son, like so many others, they come back a bit different”, she said in Tulsa, Okla. “They come back hardened”. In that same MSNBC interview, he seemed on the rocks about Donald Trump and for Jeb Bush.
Palin addressed the “elephant in the room” – her son’s arrest – at her first stop on the campaign trail for Trump after endorsing him Tuesday.
Graham told reporters he agrees with comments Bob Dole made about Cruz, when he said Republicans would suffer “cataclysmic” losses if the Texas senator was the party’s nominee. Presidential contender Chris Christie has resisted demands to smack Donald Trump as the Republican party establishment panics over Trump’s seemingly unstoppable rise.
“Big government, bailouts, executive orders, not just abortion but partial birth abortion, nationalizing of banks, stimulus, pathway to citizenship”, Beck continued, saying they were all positions Trump has held and is not a true conservative. But when he sat down at Ron Morrison’s table at a diner in Manchester, New Hampshire, Morrison pressed him for a straight answer.
To be sure, a slew of politically experienced rivals are still hoping to blunt Trump’s and Cruz’s momentum once voting begins. “I’m a Republican… he’s doing far better in the primary than I did”.

Cruz shot back, calling Dole’s near endorsement of Trump a sign of fear from the establishment. “And what it really signifies is their hatred for Ted Cruz”, Limbaugh said on his nationally syndicated radio program. Trump also said McCain as a senator hasn’t done enough to help military veterans. “He’s not even on the scale – these people, we’ve got a bunch of real dummies, I tell ya”.
