          Eisenhower did leave us in a recession tho admittedly not as bad as Hoover, Ford, Reagan/Bush, Bush, or Trump.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recession_of_1960%E2%80%9361 …

          There was a recession during Ike's 2nd term, which resulted in a massive Dem landslide in 1958. Economy had recovered a bit by 1960, but still very sluggish.

          The economy was so-so under Ike, and improved a lot under JFK. Things were booming under Coolidge, but only seven months after he left we had the great market crash.

          And yet you would never know this was the case since Democrats refuse to bring it up or even try to make sharp contrasts between the two parties. Instead, they focus on “bipartisanship” and “working together to get things done”
