Today’s Republican Party desperately needs an Eisenhower
The Hill ^ | 01/22/2024 | JOHN KENNETH WHITE

The 2024 Republican Iowa Caucus is now history. Donald Trump scored a decisive victory, capturing 98 of 99 counties and winning 51 percent of the vote. Trump’s opponents — Nikki Haley and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) — find themselves struggling to continue.

Haley jetted off to New Hampshire where she hopes to get enough support from independents to either win or finish a close second. DeSantis decamped to Haley’s home state of South Carolina hoping to appeal to that state’s evangelicals.

But the reality is that Donald Trump has an unshakeable base of support and is all but certain to be the 2024 GOP presidential nominee. As Donald Trump, Jr. bragged on Jan. 6, 2021, “This is Donald Trump’s Republican Party!”

Why not a Bush 41 or Gerald Ford? (sarc)

Donald Trump IS the Eisenhower and also the Reagan of a new era.

Donald Trump IS the Eisenhower

Eisenhower didn’t sit out WWII because of “bone spurs.”

I read “The Age of Eisenhower” by William Hitchcock awhile ago. I’m probably in the minority, but I was not impressed with his actions as president. WWII? Sure, I’ll give the man full credit. But as president, he (in my opinion) intervened around the globe where he should not have, and he failed to intervene in places where perhaps should have. I think he mismanaged the Cold War, and Civil Rights. I think he let the CIA get out of control and I think the Deep State was largely born while Eisenhower was president. Did he know? I’m not sure. But I got the impression that if he did know, he would have approved of it. I came away not liking Eisenhower all that much.

What the Republican Party does not need is a John Kenneth White.

Let’s make a deal: We all agree to the social conventions, popular culture, immigration policies, and treatment of Red China of the Eisenhower Era (minus Jim Crow), and then we can have our Eisenhower.

We do not need an Eisenhower. If one has to use WWII analogies, we need a Patton, and we have one in Trump.

Better analogies: we need a Jehu, a Kamehameha, an Orban, or a Milei. Trump can be any or all of the above.

Eisenhower didn’t have derpstate guttersnipes trying to ruin him and all those around him for the crime of being for America First.

What today's Republican party needs is a Lincoln willing to throw Democrats in prison where they belong.

The way Lincoln used to do it.

“Did he know?”

About the military-industrial complex? I believe he did...

And Eisenhower wasn't even a combat general, he was a logistics officer and planner for most of his career.
