Check out Ike's inflation, interest rate, and unemployment rate.

Could use a few more Rinos like that.

Check this out:

Ike's appointments to the Supreme Court:

Earl Warren, Potter Stewart, William J. Brennan.

U.S. Senate (1952 Election)

Republican Majority (48 GOP to 46 'Rat)

(1960-final year in office)

Democrat Majority (64 'Rat to 36 GOP)

U.S. House (1952 Election)

Republican Majority (221 GOP to 213 'Rat)

(1960-final year in office)

Democrat Majority (283 'Rat to 153 GOP)

Governors (1952 Election)

(29 GOP to 19 'Rat)

(1960-final year in office)

(34 'Rat to 16 GOP)

It's apparently not too well-known (though should be) that after 6 years in office, Ike reduced our numbers in Congress to Depression-era levels, which took a quarter-century to recoup in the Senate and 40 years in the House (and we've never recovered from the damages caused by his judicial appointees).
