“That campaign of 64 was a particularly nasty one from the get go.”
But the 1964 Republican convention introduced to the country the POLITICAL Ronald Reagan, and he hit a grand slam with the speech he gave. It set the stage for him to run and win the California governorship two years later against the incumbent Democrat (the current Moonbeam’s rabid father, Edmund “Pat” Brown).
Goldwater had the GOPe,the media and the Democrats against him. Cruz will be facing the same enemies.
