re: #68 HappyWarrior

The GOP needs a new Eisenhower just like they did in the 50’s following FDR and WWII/The New Deal for such a thing to happen. Unfortunately, all their candidates want to be the next Reagan rather than the next Eisenhower.

Unfortunately, I don’t think such a relatively normal political realignment is possible now. For one thing, a new Eisenhower in the GOP would be hard to distinguish from many Democrats these days.

On the other hand, there was an enormous amount of RW hatred of FDR that mostly dissipated after WWII, so perhaps it isn’t as impossible as I fear.
