Maybe the Democrats could draft Jeb Bush? Remember, Dwight Eisenhower was being courted by BOTH the Democrats and Republicans in 1950 or so, when there were mounting doubts about Harry Truman. Then the Korean War broke out, and General Douglas MacArthur was called home from the Far East command in disgrace by Harry. That was probably what finally propelled Eisenhower to the Republicans.

Or maybe people didn’t know that.

And as far as Mike Bloomberg goes, he has made his intentions and feelings about the NRA very well known.

Pretty hard to get elected on a national basis without the approval of NRA.

I guess you didn't know that Eisenhower hated MacArthur since his service under him in the Philippines in the 1930s.

Ike was a witness to every bad thing ever said about MacArthur, and if Ike had been President instead of Truman (which, if he had run in 1948, he would have been), he would have relieved MacArthur much sooner.
