No, Goldwater heartily endorsed Reagan. I remember him saying at the Convention, from the podium, that if Reagan was not elected, the U.S. might not ever have another presidential election.
When he got older and married a liberal woman, he did flip to Liberalism to a certain extent.

Their are people debating it, however think of this if correct....
* McConnell calls for a Pro-Forma Session before they break for Winter.
* Senator Moore says, no, and calls a voice and calls for recess, now they have to vote on that if I am not mistaken. You think we are going to let them get away with Pro-Forma vs Recess after that? They ( R Senators ) know we are watching them like a hawk.
* It is then that PDJT can make an unkuboko massive appointment of a ton of Judges and who knows who else.
Some of these Judges can become Supreme Court Judges in the future.
They are reaching for the Mylanta IMHO, because more than anything the Swamp doesn't want to another Originalist on the Supreme Court. We are barley 5-4, If Kennedy Retires this spring ( PDJT sent up a slate of another 10 days about a week ago ) we are solidly 5-4. Ginsberg gets sick and or Bryer decides to retire, we would move to strong 7 - 2, with Kagan and the Wise Latina being the only Liberals left on the S.C.
That is the way I see it. This one is for all the marbles. Imagine a case(s) starting ( Like the Texas Sodomy case ) in some small court somewhere that come up through the ranks to challenge Gay Marriage or Rove V Wade. If they left can do it, why can't those decisions be challenged?
And oh yes Senator Moore Will Vote for the Next SC Nominee.
Yes but, we know that some Christian conservatives are so narrow minded that no amount of reason will prevail. Once they decide against sin, there can be no forgiveness nor reasoning.
It is easier just to say “hell no” than to read Pat’s appeal
All for show, he didn’t believe it. Reagan at least “believed” in Goldwater in 1964 when he heartily endorsed him, but the reverse was not true of Goldwater in 1980, or 1976 (when he endorsed a damaged Jerry Ford).
He was always married to “liberal” women. His first wife was a huge mover and shaker for Planned Parenthood going back to the 1940s and was a friend and disciple of Margaret Sanger. He was always pro-abortion and sadly lied to the people of Arizona about it, especially in 1980 when his Democrat opponent was to his right.
He was effectively a Democrat in his last decade or so of life, endorsing Democrats for office, railing against religious Conservatives and embracing the radical homosexual movement.
“...but the reverse was not true of Goldwater in 1980, or 1976 (when he endorsed a damaged Jerry Ford).”
From the Cambridge University Press:
“The Arizonan’s endorsement of Ford provoked a complete break between the two erstwhile friends. Reagan did not correspond with Goldwater again for fifteen months. When he finally did so, Goldwater responded, “It was a pleasure hearing from you and I hope someday the hatchet, if there is a hatchet, can be buried.” They made amends. Goldwater endorsed Reagan in 1980 and continued to support him during Reagan’s two terms in office. For his part, Reagan never invited his former mentor to the White House.”
Other than that, I remember thinking Goldwater jumped off the rails in later life.
In one of his books, when he ended his career, he was the first senator that I know of who warned about the One Worlders, the globalists - New World Order crowd.
A very simplistic description that doesn’t really reflect their relationship. Goldwater couldn’t actively demonstrate a disdain for Reagan running for his last term in 1980. Still, he had alienated enough Conservative votes in Arizona that Reagan outstripped him by a wide margin of 61% to Carter’s paltry 28% (with Reagan losing just one county) while Goldwater got just 49.5% of the vote to pro-lifer Democrat Bill Schulz’s 48.4%, and (embarrassingly) won only 3 counties statewide (1 by a narrow plurality), while Schulz swept the rest.
Unfortunately, time in office began to expose Goldwater’s rotten core. :-(
