Buchanan may have a point

The faction in the GOP that walked on Goldwater still exists

They are not comfortable with the conservative base of the GOP

They will gladly accept their votes if for a RINO

Look what happened to Ollie North in VA in 94

RINOs won't vote for a conservative and conservatives are tired of having RINOs shoved down their throats

GOP may be done as a presidential entity

If the faction of the GOP that walked on Goldwater still exists—that demographic is 71+ years old. Is that a huge portion of the GOP faithful?

You and Buchanan could be right, but even if a lot of the GOPe refused to vote for Trump, it might not be fatal, considering that Trump would likely pull in a lot of Independent and Democrat votes.
