EISENHOWER. NIXON. FORD.Co. Any of these past Presidents be elected in todays Republican Party?
Has todays Republican Party become so neo-conservative. That these past Presidents could not even win the primary?
No
I don't think so. They lack the ultra-right wing racist credibility that's required of Repugnican candidates.
Trump a former Democrat got elected. LOL
Kennedy, Johnson or Carter could not get elected in today's Democratic party. LOL
Yes! Remember Biden; Pocahontas Warren and Hillary are proof of that.
You forgot Reagan, Yes Reagan would be elected by a landslide.
Reagan Wins By a Landslide, Sweeping at Least 48 States; G.O.P. Gains Strength in House
Despite all the criticism of Reagan, he still won 48 states because the economy was booming.
Now compare that to Trump.
No. They were to sane. Even Tricky D ick.
Oh look, someone used "neo". I bet you think you are an intellectual, right?
Kennedy would be too conservative for this go-around and he is a democrat hero.
Times change. Dems don't seem to get any wiser. Same old same old.
No
JFK would have been kicked out with the rest of the Blue Dogs in 2010 midterms, and Bernie would hate his guts.
Not at all. They'd all be considered too liberal by today's GOP standards.
Nixon created the EPA, OSHA, and opened relations with communist China.
Taxes for the wealthy during Eisenhower were much much higher than they are now and he was staunchly against the military-industrial complex.
Even Reagan and H.W. Bush would be considered too liberal. Reagan supported gun control measures and gave amnesty to illegal immigrants. H.W. Bush took the threat of global warming seriously.
No, the GOP of today has gone dangerously to the right. Proposals that seem super progressive today would have been considered fairly middle of the road decades ago.
- Will Donald Trump be re-elected in 2020? I know that incumbent presidents usually get re-elected, but there have been exceptions (Gerald Ford in 1976, Jimmy Carter in 1980, and George H.W. Bush in 1992), so, do you believe Trump would win in 2020? Also, who do you believe the Democrats would get to run against him?
- Why was dr.ford so blaise and happy at todays hearing? For a woman thats supposedly had her life destroyed she sure looked in a good mood and seemed to be enjoying the spotlight… In stark contrast to the man she's accussed
- Obama deserves a severe punishment for repeating Richard Nixon's Water Gate Scandal. The only reason Nixon didn't get a? Harsh punishment is because he resigned & the next POTUS Gerald Ford Pardoned him in 1974 Trump Declassified a memo that shows Obama did something that was the same thing or worse then Richard Nixon's Water-gate Scandal
- How did Ford pardon Nixon when the US Constitution says presidents can't pardon for impeachment? "The President… Shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." There's only one exception to pardons: impeachment. There's no exception that says "and also if the impeachment was not yours". So it's a fragrant violation of the US Constitution.
