Born
Dole's partnerships crossed party lines repeatedly: food stamps with George McGovern, the 1983 Social Security rescue with Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 with Tom Harkin. His method was to deliver Republican votes in exchange for business-friendly amendments, such as phased compliance deadlines in the ADA. Conservatives in his own party increasingly saw dealmaking as betrayal, a shift that defined his 1996 presidential campaign and the Senate after him.
