Former Sen. Bob Dole said that the Republican party would suffer “cataclysmic” and “wholesale losses” if Ted Cruz was the nominee and that Donald Trump would fare better, the New York Times reports.
Said Dole: “I question his allegiance to the party. I don’t know how often you’ve heard him say the word ‘Republican’ — not very often.”
Dole added that while Cruz calls himself “conservative,” he preferred a different word for Cruz: “extremist.”
