Barry Goldwater got the long knife in his back
But it ended the careers of Nelson Romney, William Scranton and George Romney .
The backers of a losing cause Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan who campaigned all over the country in vain for Goldwater
Were rewarded with Two Terms elected as President by the GOP.
Notice the same playbook being used against Trump they used against Goldwater and tried to use against Reagan...”unsteady, volitile, dumb, reactionary, no foreign knowledge, discriminatory et al.
