You're a funny guy.

I just watched a PBS documentary on Eisenhower. How politics has change in just a few generations. Especially how the respect of the politician has dwindled so much is pretty scary. Wake up Washington !

I agree. I grew up under Eisenhower. Whether people agreed with him or not, he was respected.
LBJ and Nixon changed all of that.

I was a 5 year old when IKE was cleaning up the USA with his 'operation wetback' . I and my generation had a country with abundant jobs , good wages and good schools and a good country full of Americans !!

Viscious politics is a tradition in America that goes back to it's Founding.

That operation needs to be revived and fully funded.

Give me an example of viciousness that was leveled at Eisenhower during his presidency.
Who leveled it?
What did they say?

yeah vicious , used to be very nasty , Wasn't like the 'uni party' that we have now that just wants to get 'Something Done' , fix something while maintaining decorum and bipartisanship . Trump sure seems to have blown that method up [hopefully] !! Me , I say enforce the borders , rebuild the military and a couple other things and leave ME alone !! -------------- way off topic comment !!

viciousness , don't know about IKE but during earlier runs for office in earlier days I have heard that political campaigns were very vicious and personal Bill . As example question , wasn't Lincolns campaign very vicious ??

here you go MARK , just some info on 'operation wetback' Ike and how 'Ike' got his job done . Is Trump the new 'IKE' ?? --- https://www.conservativereview.com/Comm ... mmigration --- I hope that he is the new IKE , if he makes it to nomination this one policy is why I'd vote for him !!

uh . . . duels?

yeah Duels , thanks for the reminder --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr%E2%8 ... ilton_duel --- think it was done in a vicious but Gentlemanly fashion .

I say Hillary's chances of being the next POTUS are no worse than 50-50.

American politicians and 'Duels' , just a few . --- http://www.artofmanliness.com/2010/03/3 ... n-history/ --- I think that Trump would be good at Duels .

She'll fold before the primaries.
Obama's washing his hands of her and her donors are drying up.
Plus, the email scandal will get much worse.

She doesn't need Obama.

GFB is correct. Politicians in the U.S. have always said nasty things about each other. Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton... pretty much all of them. That's a big part of what the First Amendment is about.

Eisenhower had just led the forces that had saved the world for Democracy. Both parties wanted and respected him, and the U.S. was full of millions of soldiers who revered him. What idiot was going to go after Ike?
