He'd be a moderate Democrat.
No, he wouldn't. He was a moderate Republican until the day he died, and his politics aren't remarkably different in tone than HW. He'd be a moderate Republican now.
Thinking that HW has any place in the Republican party now, outside of a relic, is kind of cute .
Uh, he's not dead and hasn't changed to a "moderate Democrat," has he?
This forum SEVERELY overrates how many people would switch parties in today's environment.
Could he win a GOP primary on the same platform he ran on in 1988 or 1992?
No, absolutely not. But that's different than saying he'd be a Democrat. He is, in today's world, a moderate Republican, just as I believe Ike would be.
In 2004, Ike's son, John Eisenhower, publicly endorsed John Kerry and stated that he had changed his voter registration from Republican to Independent.
Eisenhowers other family members:
Julie Eisenhower Nixon(granddaughter in-law of Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon Daughter:)
2008: Obama(Donated 2,300 dollars)
2012: Romney(Donated Money though "citation" marked in Wikipedia)
Susan Eisenhower(Dwight Eisenhower's Granddaughter) (left the Republican Party to become and Independent and Spoke at DNC Convention in 2008:)
2008: Obama
2012: Obama
I think Dwight Eisenhower would be a Republican in the Fitzpatrick/Katko/Stefinak/Meehan/Diaz-Balart/Ros-Lethien Mold. He could be a Conservative Dem in an idealogical sense though but there is not that many around though in Congress.
