File for future reference. Richard Nixon was not invited by Goldwater to speak at the 64 Convention in(are you ready??) San Francisco. But he did make it to the convention 4 years later and gave the convention’s final speech.

It looks like Sarah was invited. Did you read the article?

I didn't know that, but it contains some interesting reverse parallels to today and the current situation with the GOPe and conservatives and with the quality of current candidates in the November election.

I think this quote from the Wiki on Barry Goldwater is telling:

Goldwater disliked Johnson (who he said "used every dirty trick in the bag"), and Richard M. Nixon of California (whom he later called "the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life")

The record that's now playing seems to be stuck in a groove and keeps skipping and replaying the same thing over and over again.
