A candidate who lost the presidency in 1996 has emerged from retirement to endorse a candidate who will not win the presidency in 2016. 

92-year-old former Sen. Bob Dole believes former Florida Governor Jeb Bush to be the best candidate for president, saying his "proven leadership skills" will fix the country.

"Jeb has the proven leadership skills and executive experience needed to fix the problems facing our country – from the anemic economy to America's weakened standing among world leaders," Dole said in a statement. "Jeb's conservative reform agenda and forward looking vision on issues including 4 percent economic growth, defeating ISIS and taking care of our veterans are in stark contrast to Hillary Clinton’s strategy to continue the failed policies of the present Administration."

Dole has also pledged to help Bush's campaign by serving as his National Veterans' Chairman.

In terms of presidential runs, Bob Dole has a record that can only be described as losing. He lost when running for Vice President under Gerald Ford in 1976, he lost the nominations for president in 1980 and 1988, and he suffered an embarrassing defeat to President Bill Clinton in 1996.
