Because he is practical and well grounded, as described in the previous chapter, and also very devoted and nurturing (as described below), Bob Dole is a source of solace and emotional support for other people. However, Dole tends to be much moodier and more emotional than his rather solid, steady, down-to-earth appearance would suggest.

Robert has powerful emotional attachments to the past, his family, his childhood, places he associates with safety and security, and his beginnings. It is very important to Dole to maintain a connection with his roots and heritage and keep family bonds strong. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, Dole tends to cling to whatever is dear to him - be it a person, a familiar place, or a cherished possession.

He is primarily emotional and his views are often dominated by his feelings and his own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic or abstract principles.
