Barry Goldwater knew he was going to lose. Does Trump?

I can’;t wait until these assclown moonbats get their asses handed to themselves...one way or another.

[Hostage]

First, it was “Trump will not be the nominee”.

Now it’s. “Trump will not be President”.

And “Trump is Goldwater”.

I suppose the good news is that Donald has graduated from Hitler to Goldwater. Or has the Krautscum not yet gone to Hitler yet with Trump?

[Secret Agent Man]

Yup.

[central_va]

I wish losers like Krauthedger who have been wrong about Trump for so long should promise to resign from the public airwaves if Trump wins.

[central_va]

Simply repealing the 16th and 17th amendments would restore the republic.

[uncbob]

And LBJ won

How the hell did that work out ?

[Ohioan]

Goldwater did not lose by being Goldwater. He had pulled even with Kennedy before the assassination, and was on track to win. Unfortunately, when JFK was shot, the Republicans allowed LBJ a six month honeymoon, out of sympathy, before they started the real campaign to unseat him. That, and the nuclear war scare ads buried Goldwater's chances. (Incidentally, LBJ falsely ran as a Conservative in the upper South.)

I was very much involved in the Goldwater campaign from early December, 1960 through November 3rd, 1964. This was something we lived day by day. I do not need to read what someone else said about it in a book.

I would be spelling a bad word

A truly unfortunate coincidence.

“I suppose the good news is that Donald has graduated from Hitler to Goldwater”

Thanks, I needed a good guffaw before I bursted a blood vessel ;)

[Defiant]

Goldwater was a stiff, like Ted Cruz.

Trump is a leader, and an energetic inspirational one at that.

I am sick of this endless stream of attempts to talk down Trump. I want to see an endless stream of articles destroying the uniparty and its attacks. Look for those and post them.

[Grampa Dave]

Amen Tom!

I quit paying much attention to these so-called experts long ago.

They have been inside the beltway for so long that they have no idea what is going on in fly-over country.

[Grampa Dave]

Reality versus this out of date beltway pundit acting like a person we listen to.

“It is now 2016 and the free pass that politicians have been riding on has expired.

The American people no longer trust the major institution, from political office to news outlets, to even large businesses. It would seem all were conspiring against middle Americans, the average Joe that just wants to work, take care of their families and put away a little for their future.

Donald Trump is speaking for them.

If Trump would moderate his message, even a little, the cries of “flip flop” and “hypocrisy” would escape from the lips of every liberal.

I hope Trump does not give an inch.

I for one do not want any bi-party unity because it always means the little guy gets shafted.”

[Grampa Dave]

Same here!

[1Old Pro]

I’m marching with the Trump flag. I will be marching though as the Dems have an electoral advantage. Trump supporters must save this country and unite and go door to door to help get out the vote.

[Albion Wilde]

Boo, hiss!

[Pravious]

“I was going to type the letters for FReep you Charles Krauthammer and realized I would be spelling a bad word.”

LOL! Never thought of that. Kind of built in, isn’t it? :-)
