Europe vs the Pacific!
Let'a assume for our POD that MacArthur (for whatever reason) is given a 'soft' dismissal by Truman, I.E he's told "Resign or I'll fire you".
Let's also assume that in this TL Eisenhower runs as a democrat (he was approached by both parties IOTL).
The Republicans, deciding that the only way to beat a war hero is with another war hero, ask MacArthur to run under the GOP ticket. MacArthur, more than a little annoyed by his 'resignation' and concerned about how the war in Korea is being handled accepts.
Who wins this election?
