It sure seemed like better day back in Ike's administration.
At least he had some credentials for high public office, and I understate.

I like Ike.
If only we had people in D.C. of his caliber today....

One of our greatest generals - and he never served in combat. A far better president than most who have followed him. And he grew up on the wrong side of the tracks - literally. If you are ever in Abilene, his home and memorial are worth a look.

Think we will ever see a candidate close to him?
Then, would the voters be smart enough to vote for the candidate even if he was bald?

Like would be an understatement.. Some of my earliest memories are hearing the "big kids" - the 6 and 7 year olds - sing a variation of the Eisenhower campaign jingle. Sung to the tune of "Whistle While You Work". Whistle while you work, Stevenson's a jerk, Eisenhower has the power, to-oo do the work!
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

My favorite Ike story is about how he got the Norks to capitulate.
Story is that the peace talks were not going so well. Ike had a low level puke at State talk to a low level French puke. The conversation was about The Bomb.
Our puke told the Frog that Ike would be willing to lend the Frogs an A-Bomb to resolve the French Indo-China issue. This was just a feelere, but. . . The French had been lobbying for support, and this was their response. The Frogs were severely compromised with Soviet spies, so this news was in Moscow probably before it was in Paris.
The Soviets called the Chinese. The Chinese called the Norks, and all of a sudden their was an accord signed.
Somebody told Ike on assuming the Presidency: figure out what conditions would cause you to drop The Bomb. When you are certain of your answer, tell no one.
This was how Ike used The Bomb.
The details of all this are in Ike's Bluff. I read it on the deer stand a couple of seasons ago. Good stuff.

Funny how almost every state on that map was a different color for the last election. And just how many have been consistently a different color for a decade or so.

I was too young to pay any attention to politics back then but I will point out that Democrats were a different breed of people then. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I think both parties were different. Both sides had strong conservative and liberal wings. That changed, largely with Reagan, also I think that back then both sides wanted what they saw as best for the country. Now they just want what they want, and to stop or hurt the opposition. Can you tell that I am someone who despises one party and likes the other a just a little better. Working middle class people have no support from either side.
