Not sure which election you mean ... in 60, he may very well have been the most qualified candiate on paper. Bay of Pigs would have still been a clusterfuck, as probably would Vietnam; just not sure he would have been the right hand at the helm during the Cuban Missle Crisis, and I suspect he would have slowed down the course of civil rights, leading to more domestic conflict.
By 68 ... not sure it would have made much difference between Nixon and Humphrey, at least for Americans. The absence of Kissenger would have made things vastly different for a lot of Chileans, Timorese, etc.
In 72, the Democrats were taken captive the same way the Republicans had in '64. It was no race.
He was hated every bit as much as Bush or Clinton; and in spite of his demons and his criminal activity he did a tremendous amount of good. He was a far better president than Carter, Reagan, Bush I & II, and probably even Clinton.
BTW ... Ike is probably the most underrated President of the 20th Century.
