re: #174 jaunte

My theory is that, whether Nixon or Eisenhower was in the President’s role, the origins of the current GOP direction (oligarchs whipping racist false populism) reach all the way back to their reaction to FDR.

Hmmm. I’m not sure. Hoover, Landon, Willkie, & Dewey really didn’t seem to engage in race baiting. But if you ask me, the GOP’s turning point is Taft succeeding TR as the GOP standard bearer.
