Would the Republican party be able to make a comeback if they became more Eisenhower Republicans?

LOL! If the GOP moved back to Eisenhower Republicans, they'd find themselves to the left of the Democrats! Both parties have moved way to the right. Obama is more conservative than any president of either party before Ronald Reagan, and that's what's pushed the Republicans to the extreme right.

Remember (if you're old enough) Eisenhower built the Interstate Highway System, instituted school lunches and vaccinations, etc. It was a very progressive time!

That's the only way they could, because then they would appeal to a broader spectrum of voters.

However this isn't going to happen because the control of the GOP by the Cons is too strong to overcome.

In addition Moderates are leaving the GOP in droves or they are being defeated by right wingers, Neo Cons and Fundies

Examples Sen Richard Lugar, Sen Olympia Snow, , like Sen Olympia Snow, Former Sen Arlen Specter, Ex Gov Charlie Crist, Gen Colin Powell.

These are just some examples and this is going to be a disaster for the GOP, even though they are in denial, and ideology trumps effective politics

Hope this helps

Eisenhower. He wasn't an isolationist. He supported a powerful militia and denounced Truman for oftentimes letting China fall to the Communists and not paying sufficient interest to Korea. Reagan - not a actual conservative. He decrease taxes, confident, yet he very much extra suitable spending, consequently transforming into historic deficits and including very much to the national debt. If he replaced into relatively a conservative, he might've decrease spending alongside with taxes. although, he by no ability balanced a single funds. Paul - Paul is extra of an company Republican than human beings think of. they only think of he's oftentimes a Libertarian because of the fact of his father. yet he's extra of a typical Republican, and that i've got yet to confirm how he can do on the national diploma. working a campaign in Kentucky is very diverse than working a countrywide one. i think of Paul could be appropriate as a CANDIDATE in 2016, so the GOP can check out all its ideas and each and each candidate could make the case why he's maximum suitable.

The press and the propaganda they repeat by way of the WH will never let that happen... Look at the history of civil rights where it is "common knowledge" how "democrats championed civil rights" when "historically that is not true at all. Legislation began with Eisenhower and ended with Nixon and this after repeated Democratic obstruction. We could have had a civil rights law in 1958 and not 1964! They are "fundamentally transforming our history and our traditions" (M. Obama) to say that which they want it to... "1984" anyone?

What you mean is of the republican party became more liberal, and the answer is no. When the voters have a choice between a democrat and a republican who tries to out liberal his democrat opponent, the voters will go for the real thing: the democrat.

What do you mean make a comeback? Aside from delegates you need to remember Romney lost by only a handful of percentage points when it came to the popular vote. And that was with nearly every major news outlet disregarding the negatives about Obama and focusing on the "positives" and vise-versa when it came to Romney.

Wait 'til everybody gets a good dose of Obama's tax increases. The Republican comeback will be miraculous.

Only time will tell. Both parties are spending too much time on special interest groups.

GOP is opposed to cloning and those Republicans are all but gone

No, Ike was an idiot. A moderate idiot, but still an idiot.
