"Name a Republican presidential nominee he voted for after Eisenhower."

Republicanism is not vested only in the office of the President or in the GOP.

He would’ve been eligible to vote beginning in 1950 when he turned 21. I haven’t been able to pin down if he himself ever cast a vote for Eisenhower, or if he indeed voted for Stevenson in ‘52 & ‘56. His father was a self-declared Republican, as the majority of Southern Blacks were until the 1960s, but he switched from Nixon to JFK during the election season and never went back. Even supported the race-baiting Jimmy Carter (who openly ran as a race-baiter in the 1970 Democrat primary, mocking ex-Gov. Carl Sanders, his opponent, for “shaking hands” with Black basketball players. Sanders was a racial moderate). It’s very hard to give these folks any credibility when they put the narcotic of Socialist big government ahead of rejecting racist, anti-Semite politicians like Carter.
