Bob Dole Lashes Republican Party: They Should Put A Sign On The Door That Says ‘Closed For Repairs’





Bob Dole Trashes The Republican Party on Fox News

Bob Dole called out everything from filibuster abuse to extremism while trashing the Republican Party on Fox News.

WALLACE: In your first two years as a senator — there were seven motions filed, cloture motions to end debate. In the last two years, there were 115 cloture motions.

Is the filibuster being abused wherever it now takes 60 votes to pass anything?

DOLE: No doubt about it. There are some cases we can probably justify it, but not many.

WALLACE: What do you think of your party, of the Republicans, today? DOLE: I think they ought to put a sign on the national committee doors that says closed for repairs until New Year’s Day next year and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas.
