The media made much of who came and who didn’t come to last week’s GOP convention in Cleveland. Pundits also made much over presidential contenders who signed “the pledge,” but refused to endorse Donald Trump. There was, however, one former Republican Presidential nominee and GOP elder statesman who was there and said “Trump’s going to make a great president.” His name is Bob Dole and he continues to teach us all what character, duty, and being an American is all about.
We all have ups and downs in life. How a man handles both victory and defeat tells you a lot about a man and his character. Bob Dole originally supported Jeb Bush for the presidency, whose father had once been a bitter rival. Bob Dole put that past him and supported the younger Bush. Dole was then “really disappointed” in Jeb Bush for skipping the convention and not honoring his pledge.
