re: #114 retired cynic

Could depend on definition of conservative, I suppose. Closest in my lifetime: Ike & Jerry Ford.

I was an infant during the last year of Ike’s presidency.

As for Ford, I really don’t care for the pardon he gave Nixon. (The Saturday Night Massacre propagated by Robert Bork resulted in a GOP promise to Bork that they would eventually reward him for firing Archibald Cox. That reward was Ronald Reagan’s appointment to the Supreme Court.)
