Mr. Trump and General Eisenhower (Not Political)

Every half a century we tire of our politicians and look for an "outsider" to be our leader. In 1960, both the Democrats and Republicans wanted Dwight Eisenhower to run as their Presidential candidate. We wanted something 'different' but also a known quantity, so to speak. Mr. Eisenhower had been a great General in World War II and that was sufficient for the American people. People called "Ike" a 'care taker' President who would keep the country safe  and stable...But ole "Ike" fooled a lot of people, like when he sent in the military to desegregate Southern State Universities. He was a pretty good leader as well as a military man.

Today, we are again looking outside of the political establishment for 'something different.'  The majority of us are trying to tell establishment politicians that we are not happy...

What will happen? Who knows.

Just something to think about...
