on September 24, 1955 Ike had dinner with his doctor and told him about some stomach pains he was having the doctor told him it was fine, and left, latter that night his wife, as all good wifes do, told he need to go to the Hospital damn what the doctor says, and she drove him there herself, Ike was having a Myocardial infarction (a heart attack)
so what if Mamie Eisenhower hadn't been able to talk Ike into coming to the Hospital and he'd died? what does a Nixon Presidency in 1955 look like and can Nixon win reelection in 56?
