Here is one Republican who couldn't get nominated today

     


    As the Republican Party has evolved from a normal conservative political party into nothing more than a Trump cult, it has only to look at its political leader from 60 years ago to see how far it has dissolved as a political party.  Here are two Republican President Eisenhower quotes from the 1950s to show what a rational party leader looks like.

      "If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power."

      "To remain secure and prosperous themselves, wealthy nations must extend the kind of cooperation to the less fortunate members that will inspire hope, confidence, and progress. A rich nation can for a time, without noticeable damage to itself, pursue a course of self-indulgence, making its single goal the material ease and comfort of its own citizens-thus repudiating its own spiritual and material stake in a peaceful and prosperous society of nations. But the enmities it will incur, the isolation into which it will descend, and the internal moral and physical softness that will be engendered, will, in the long term, bring it to disaster."
