Bob Dole Says the GOP Should Be "Closed For Repairs"
Former Senator and Presidential candidate says Reagan would not have been at home in today's Republican party
(CNN) – National Republicans have shifted so drastically in the past decade that the party's most vaunted figure - former President Ronald Reagan - would no longer find a home in the GOP, former Sen. Bob Dole claimed Sunday.
"Reagan couldn't have made it," Dole said, adding he too would also have faced challenges in today's Republican Party.
Instead of operating day-to-day in a nonelection year, the national party should focus on broader plans to rehabilitate itself after the losses of 2012, the former Kansas lawmaker said.
