They will never happen again. Either you get crooked Private Sector Executives that have made a career out of conning people and screwing people over and are morally bankrupt (trump) or crooked career politicians bought by the crooked Private Sector executive.
You can't improve the state of affairs when all leaders are sociopaths and one bad day from Jail. You would have to completely scorch the earth and remove all these idiots from power. Every single one minus maybe a handful?
95 percent of the individuals in power in both sectors are crooked, evil, criminals
In reading the history of political parties, I have come to agree that we need to get back to the roots of the Republican party. I think we need to consider moving the GOP back to what the party stood for several decades ago.
1. Stimulate improved job safety of our workers, through assistance to the States, employees and employers
2. Continue and further perfect its programs of assistance to the millions of workers with special employment problems, such as older workers, handicapped workers, members of minority groups, and migratory workers
3. Strengthen and improve the Federal-State Employment Service ad improve the effectiveness of the unemployment insurance system
4. Protect by law, the assets of employee welfare and benefit plans so that workers who are the beneficiaries can be assured of their rightful benefits
5. Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of Sex
6. Federally-assisted construction, and maintain and continue the vigorous administration of the Federal prevailing minimum wage law for public supply contracts
7. Extend the protection of the Federal minimum wage laws to as many more workers as is possible and practicable
8. Continue to fight for the elimination of discrimination in employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry or sex
9. Provide assistance to improve the economic conditions of areas faced with persistent and substantial unemployment
10. Revise and improve the Taft-Hartley Act so as to protect more effectively the rights of labor unions, management, the individual worker, and the public
11. the protection of the right of workers to organize into unions and to bargain collectively is the firm and permanent policy of the Eisenhower Administration
Let's start to consider GOP candidates that are true to the historical views of the party, as defined above.
I would reject that !!! The future shouldn't be a return to the past and getting rid of the GOP being the party of the wealthy/rich is more attractive and will attract new younger members !!!
Eisenhower would be considered a semi-traitorous pinko-liberal RINO today.
I was just a boy when he was president, but people were generally satisfied and optimistic then. Eisenhower was respected and well liked by the general public. 'Eisenhower Republicans' were nothing like the Trump Republicans today. They were pretty reasonable, respectable people one could look up to. The reactionary wackos and haters were out in the margins and kept in check by our sensibilities, not praised and rewarded.
We had an economic downturn in 1957, and my dad lost his job, but we pulled through alright and prospered later. We never lost the sense that things would be better and better and better over time if we persevered. That was the America the 'Greatest Generation' built when they came home from war.
People 'watched their mouths', and one never heard from a president the kind of childish invective one hears from the president today.
We had a 'can do' attitude and believed we could do anything we set our minds to. We built superhighways to span the continent and had visions of reaching 'outer space' some day. The phrase 'there ought to be a law' was heard often. People could envision a better, more forthright and noble America.
Yeah, things weren't perfect of course, we had our problems as everyone knows, but people were more positive. Eisenhower was a good man, and Eisenhower Republicans were good people.
Yes, they were in their place back then. None of that equal rights stuff. Nor allowing to vote.
Yep. The good old days.
He didn't say this, but are you implying that segregation kept the black family unit together and led to increased black family income gains where there was less of a gap between black and white households back then?

Most children were raised in 2 parent families.
The social media wasn't around every corner to expose everything someone did

My thoughts exactly. They'd call him a communist who wants to destroy America.
