What would an Eisenhower type do today to halt the march of progressivism? We may find out, if Mr. Hallow is right in his comparison.
Yup, Trump could do worse than emulate Eisenhower. Ike was great!
I like Ike.
I was born during Ike’s term.
Only Nixon could go to China.
Great post, thanks!
Just those two items made Ike a great president. If Trump does nothing but build a wall, freeze the massive Muslim influx, and and end sanctuary cities, then he belongs on Mt Rushmore
Odd article.
Either way, commence "operation wetback"
Notably, both also put the GOP on a solid enough foundation that the party could afford a clear right turn after they were out of office. Even as we conservatives prefer that Eisenhower and Nixon had been more conservative, the scope of their achievement ought not to be ignored: at critical moments, they broke the advance of liberalism and made later eras of conservative victory possible. And, most of all, they helped restore US national power and put us back on a path to victory in the Cold War.
Ike did absolutely nothing to curtail the march of leftism begun under Hoover and exploded under FDR/Truman. He swiftly pissed away a mandate to roll back the Socialist agenda and the Dems ran away with a majority beginning with the 1954 elections (and culminating with the disastrous 1958 elections) that effectively ran for the next 40 years. He was the left-leaning establishment pol that has typified the GOP leadership forever since, with a brief vacation under Reagan. In 1952, the GOP ticket should’ve been Taft-MacArthur.
If Trump ends up another Ike, another Socialist RINO, this country is finished. I want Trump to be another Warren Harding, an excellent Conservative who actually rolled back Socialist government under Wilson and created the 1920s economic success story. Historians and the left hate Harding for that and rank him as one of the worst Presidents when he is the complete opposite.

I don't see that in Trump. He's talked about increases in defense spending, increases in infrastructure spending, increases in Social Security and Medicare. He has not identified any meaningful spending cuts he would pursue.
As for Eisenhower, his first budget was $71 billion and his last one was $106 billion. Federal spending as a percentage of GDP went up almost every year. Again, not sounding like a budget cutter.

I visited the bike museum and library yesterday
A theme was the bike decades of the 40’s and 50’s
His home place was quite small for a family of 7
The museum was well done
I saw a real Enigma machine
Abilene ‘s was hot hot hot
Ike was a good military man but a political coward when it came to the Reds.
McCarthy identified the disease and offered the medicine to the infiltration of Marxism which has destroyed American society. Rather than support McCarthy ( the man who should have been president) Ike denounced him to appeal to the media.
Trump is the most courageous and visionary leader we have had since McCarthy
I’ll say this much — Ike supported Goldwater when too many “Republican leaders” wouldn’t.
