he ran and hid out in a condo for the two-three days before the election?????????????

The press had found out about an affair he had had and he was afraid that they would let the story break before everyone went to the poll.......The press didn't break the story, Dole claimed he was just exhausted............

Or when his wife Libby, was director of the Red Cross? During her leadership, Red Cross was found to be having a huge amount of fraud by it's local managers, involving pocketing donations???????????? She resigned rather suddenly, just before the story broke......

The ones being touted as "decent" or whatever, simply came from a time when they were less public with their true feelings and motivations. They may not have been as actively crazy as the Marjie Traitor Green types, but they weren't that much better.

Dole was shot up by fascists and later on voted for one and helped lay the foundations for the Rethug modern party.

I'm worried about affording my COBRA because of people like him. Now I'm finding out all sorts of things about him.

But he's one of the good Republicans

Why do ANY remain in a political party that backs trump's attempt to overthrow the United States?
Because they are terrible people, that's why.
Voters can be blinded and lied to, so I'm more forgiving there.
But I grant ZERO forgiveness to ANY Republican politician at this point.
