You wonder what Ike would think of Diaper Donnie.

You’ve come a long way Republicans....just the wrong direction. Maybe they should go the way of the Whigs as the two parties become Progressive Dems and Moderate Dems.

I have read how apoplectic some institutional republicans were with Eisenhower. They thought after FDR and Truman he would slash those high marginal tax rates. He did the opposite.

RIP again now Ike.
