Goldwater talked in facts and figures. Reagan talked with stories that touched people. When Reagan made his Address in October 1964, people called Conservatives and said, “ now I understand what you believe. Goldwater was always bitterly jealous of Reagan. Goldwater’s Conservatism was elitist. Reagan’s Conservatism was populist.

“Goldwater was always bitterly jealous of Reagan. “

The 1964 Reagan speech that you reference was given in support of Goldwater. Goldwater openly supported Reagan in 1980. Their only conflict was when Goldwater backed incumbent Jerry Ford when Reagan challenged him in 1976.
