Much like Bob Dole, Ike would have been too conservative to ever actually switch. At a stretch, he might have voted for McMullin in 2016, but I would really doubt that. A more interesting question is who he would have supported in GOP primaries.

1972: Nixon
1976:  ??
1980: ??
1984: Reagan
1988: ??
1992: ??
1996: ??
2000: ??
2004: Bush
2008: Romney?
2012: Romney
2016: ??
2020: Trump

1980 : Reagan (he was from the conservative wing of the GOP).
1992 : Bush (i feel like Ike would back the incumbent after he wins).
1996 : Buchanan

I think this is overcorrecting from the idea of Moderate Hero Sexgod Ike. Dole would have been plenty conservative for him.
Well I thought of assuming that Ike would stay where he was politically in say 1960 and stuck to those values and vote accordingly.
