It was that and he feared Robert Taft being nominated. I like Ike. There’s some stuff he did that I didn’t like I.e. staying silent on McCarthy, the Iranian coup, Nixon, but he is the best GOP President in the last century.

I can forgive staying silent on Joe McCarthy, with the idea that the President shouldn’t be attacking individual members of Congress (even if they are attacking you).

The Iranian Coup was bad for Iran, but isn’t really corrupt or criminal. (Overthowing elected officials of other countries has a long tradition in US politics.)
