Eisenhower wouldn't be a Democrat, it's very difficult to be a career military officer in today's world and end up not a Republican (Wes Clark being an exception that proves the rule).

That's not to say that Ike would be thrilled with the contemporary Republican Party...it has a...and I realize certain people will hate this word choice...radical streak that Ike, a man of very conservative temperament, would find distasteful. Ike wanted to be an able steward and not rock the boat, the current Congress seems more eager to capsize the boat if they don't get what they want.

Or that Wallace was elected governor of Alabama the last time in 1982 as a proud Democrat on the strength of the black vote? And, yes right up to his death in 1998 he was a very outspoken Democrat. I don't see him changing in the past 15-odd years. If one was going to make the Dem-GOP switch 1994 was basically the acid test.
