I missed this interview with Bob Dole but recently discovered it on Quora. It's a year later and he's still 100 percent right.

No Shit, Bob
Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole says he doesn't believe he could make it in the modern Republican Party.
"I doubt it," he said in an interview aired on "Fox News Sunday" when asked if his generation of Republican leaders could make it in today's GOP. "Reagan couldn't have made it. Certainly, Nixon couldn't have made it, cause he had ideas. We might've made it, but I doubt it."
Dole, a wounded World War II veteran from Kansas and icon of the party, said he believes it needs to rethink the direction it's heading in.
"They ought to put a sign on the National Committee doors that says 'Closed for repairs,' until New Year's Day next year," he said. "And spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas."
How many elections are they going to lose before they get this message?
