Eisenhower, who probably had more personal potential to govern as an authoritarian than any leader in modern U.S. history, ordered military personnel in Washington, DC to not where uniforms because he thought the site of so much uniformed military in the capital city was inconsistent with democracy.
While there is much to hold against Eisenhower, there is also much to admire him for.
Thanks again, swing state voters.

"which person had the most personal potential to govern as a dictator" is such an interesting question to ponder and at least for the 20th century, I think it's clearly Douglas MacArthur

Which war?
WWII
Sure, but MacArthur had a whole playground in the far east to be dictator of. It's after the firing that he became truly dangerous. But, he didn't "go for it", which is a credit to him and his character

kind of undermines his credibility

Putin wannabe
