Ike was a media darling hauled out to prevent Robert Taft, a real conservative, from getting the nomination.

I was wondering the same thing. BOTH parties wanted Eisenhower to run on their ticket, Truman even offered to step aside and be his running mate in 1948.

More like a media created paper tiger to me who sucks at campaigning and has no accomplishments, but hey if it gets you through the day and makes you think that your party will win handily in 2016, then be my guest.

And Reagan who had to win despite a relatively strong third party candidate.
