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.
