If Dwight Eisenhower came back from the dead...

[Mr. Reactionary]

He'd probably be surprised that people think he fits in with the Democrats. Eisenhower was born in the 19th Century. I don't see him eagerly joining a platform based on federal protection for gays, regulation free abortion, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and economic regulations as expansive as they've grown in the last 55 years. I've never been able to see the logic train that starts with "Eisenhower was a moderate Republican who accepted the post WW2 welfare State and built the highways" to "Eisenhower would be disgusted by the current Republican Party and would clearly be in the party of dying your armpit hair blue to fight 'patriarchy'. It's like some people ACTUALLY think that only the Republicans have become more ideologically intolerable.

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?

Could he win a Dem primary?
