As most are well aware of, there had been a concentrated and extensive effort on the part of some in the Republican Party to try and recruit General Dwight D. Eisenhower to run as their nominee in 1952 against the Democrats over the expected nominee, Robert Taft - Eisenhower however turned them down once he learned that Truman was not running; and Adlai Stevenson would go on to defeat Robert Taft in the General Election by a respectable margin that November (as well as win a second term in 1956).
What would have happened had Eisenhower said yes and ran, would he have got the nomination over Taft, would he have beaten Stevenson; how would a Eisenhower Presidency and the future play out?
