I agree 1000%. I really wish MacArthur would have run in either ‘52 or even ‘48.

Compared to most other 20th Century Presidents, Ike looks pretty good (post-Coolidge he’s easily 2nd after Reagan), but that’s saying VERY little. The guy was a moderate and not cut out for political leadership. The party did badly under him, he won reelection in 1956 with no net coattails and the 1958 midterm was an epic disaster.

My Father was a Marine so he was required by law to dislike Douglas MacArthur.

It's a Marine Thing.
