LIMBAUGH: Mitt Romney’s Dad Did the Same Thing to Goldwater in 1964 as He did to Trump (Video)

Rush Limbaugh went on FOX News Sunday to discuss the contentious Republican primary and recent developments including Mitt Romney’s scurrilous attacks on Donald Trump this week.
Rush Limbaugh told Chris Wallace – while Mitt Romney was listening – that Mitt did the same thing to Trump as his father did to Barry Goldwater in 1964.
Chris Wallace: Let’s start with Mitt Romney’s speech this week in which he basically joined the anybody but Trump movement. You say that that is going to backfire with Trump supporters and other voters are going to see it as the establishment trying to tell them what to do. With Mitt Romney listening explain what he’s missing.
Rush Limbaugh: Well, it’s all that and more but it’s not unprecedented. His dad did much the same thing against Barry Goldwater in a cabal with Republican establishment guys back in 1964. The establishment, this isn’t new. The establishment not wanting outsiders, not wanting conservatives, it isn’t anything new… Donald Trump is putting together a coalition that the Republican Party says is exactly what it needs to win. And, yet look what they’re doing. They’re trying to get Trump out of the race because they’re not in charge of it.

Thanks for the reminder about Rush's appearance. I will have to suspend my boycott of Faux News for a few minutes. Rush tipped on his radio show last week that he'd be on Faux, but I don't think he's planning on making a habit of sitting in there. I'm sure he knows their rep is declining among Rush's own audience.
Besides, if he accidentally bumped into Megyn Kelly, there might be a spontaneous explosion that levelled the building.

Bump to your good observation about "splitting". We're kinda all about Splitsville around here.

The obvious difference being that Goldwater pushed for libertarian principles. Trump has always, and continues to, push only for self-adoration. He has no principles, conservative or otherwise. In case his advocacy for “single payer” takeover of healthcare and for what would be the largest single tax hike in US history don’t make his lack of conservative principles sufficiently clear....

But what I am generally talking about is they never pick up a check, if you meet them at a bar or a private club, they will charm you into buying them drinks, they crash parties and at the same time insult America all day long. While my wife's Brit friend was here she never spent a dime to compensate us for anything. She also said that WWII would have ended sooner if we had just given them money and stayed out of the conflict. My wife's dad was decorated veteran of WWII. He stayed in the army all the way into the late 1960s. He received the silver star from Montgomery himself whom he always had a very low opinion of... My wife may have made a few remarks that offended her Brit friend after that which might be how she justified her thievery.
We haven't felt nearly as bad about the Brits letting Muslims take over their country as we did before her friend came to visit. I think that the best and brightest young men they had were killed during WWI and WWII and it has negatively affected their gene pool. This could be a problem that has plagued all of Europe.

My dad laughed hard and was very proud of me when I told him later that day. I was in high school and all of 16 when I pitched Barry to my daddy. He just sat there with his drink with a look on his face like he was hearing me recite my a-b-c's or sing for the first time. He was very proud of me and it showed in his face, but he didn't say anything, just kept listening while I banged the drum for old AuH2O. I think he might have remained quiet out of deference to my then only-recently deceased grandfather, who was a lifelong "lunchbucket Democrat" and an Al Smith man, who might after all have been listening. ;)

The obvious difference being that Goldwater pushed for libertarian principles. Actually, both libertarian and social conservatives trace back to Goldwater, and most especially to a position speech he gave in May, 1964, in which it becomes clear that both strains of conservatism were united in him.
This tends to get lost in the libertarian/social conservative split that one sees nowadays. But that in turn owes almost totally to the defeasance of the e-GOP and libertarians, who don't want to shoulder the load of keeping society from going to hell.

Thanx for posting the link, enjoyed it and appreciate it.
I didn't see any of the talking-head shows this morning until Georgie Steponallofus came on, and his show was amputated by the breaking announcement from California about Nancy Reagan.
The news programette about the Reagans in turn was upcut (downcut? offcut?) by the local ABC affiliate, which cut away for the start of Joel Osteen's services (he's actually on two channels here, at two different times).
When it's time for Rev. Osteen, it's time for Rev. Osteen!! He's got way more swing than Judge Wapner. </off "Rain Man" references>

Yes, I’ve heard these silly remarks about Yanks in WWII. Now many Brits are convinced that it was Russia and only Russia who intervened and helped them. It’s why I tend to have no patience when I get stuck next to one at a dinner party. I am planning a trip to GB this year. I do love the history of England and find the Brits in GB are generally much, much nicer than those that resettle or visit in the USA. They get really condescending really quick!

Here is what tears me up about the worst case scenario.
Personally, I am in rebellion against the GOPE/UniParty, and TRUMP is their worst nightmare, which means he is also Hillary’s worst nightmare, if you believe the two parties are together UniParty corrupt and are now UniParty deal makers strictly in business to serve their own mutual interest, for increasing their own wealth and power through globalist donors, who are continuing the quiet development of a North American Union.
I see no reason to take out TRUMP, who is obviously the most dreaded by the entire DC Establishment and globalists around the world, and remove him from his nomination, because of GOPE fears and because of Cruz ambition, just because TRUMP is a threat for bringing back the “old” America to greatness, and to possibly even uniting us with the odd alliance of Democrats and Republicans, through moderates, and non-evangelicals and fiscal conservatives, even the Bernie Sanders types, who are disenchanted by the Establishment on both sides, and also hate Hillary.
Nobody dreads Cruz, except for his colleagues and everyone he ever worked, for or with. Apparently, he campaigns on the theory that if all states remain the same as 2012, and he brings out those who refused to check the Romney box in ‘12, that he could win.
But he loses that bet. Romney blew off his base, both the Religious Right and the fiscal conservatives. Romney in Mass., betrayed the religious liberty tradition of Republicans with forced birth control on Catholics there, and ushered in gay marriage proponents, and the infamous cram down of socialized medicine, dubbed Romneycare. Romney blew up the party.
Cruz has not and will not win that Romney gap that was formulated in ‘12, by appealing only to Evangelicals.
TRUMP overcomes the gap by appealing to advocates of religious liberty, anti-abortion, and also calms the resistance of moderate democrats who are teeeeeed off about millions of illegals as a security risk, and taking jobs, lowering wages, and being a burden to our tax base, school system and medical system, LAW ENFORCEMENT, and every other public institution.
My own bet is that Cruz loses to Hillary, who will beat him on his preachy version of Evangelicalism, as a turn off to secular voters who are now amassed in this country as never before, and Hillary herself is as tolerant as Cruz is for the illegals to be legalized and eventually made citizens on the slippery slope. Cruz is not to the right on that issue of the 20 million already here. He is quite ready to keep them and turn them into future Democrat voters, except for the “felons” who are “apprehended”.
For the sake of wounded feeling Cruz supporters, sure, I could vote for Cruz against Hillary, but I would do so knowing he will not win and accepting the loss of ALL chance at Supreme Court pick(s).
It is in that coming Cruz loss, we can look back and see we let the Establishment kill off the only gladiator on the field, and with our help— TRUMP.

Quote Link Photos of the meeting can be found in the archives of the Library of Congress.
Kaczynski noted that a book on George Romney quotes the former Michigan governor telling his allies, I think you ought to listen to Alinsky.
Political analyst and think-tank researcher Steve Baldwin believes that Mitt Romney was definitely impacted by his fathers association with Alinsky.

Wow! This is first I have heard of this.
No wonder Mitt R. is going crazy. He would not want somebody win the nomination who will not bend down to radicals.

Baker was on with a tribute today to Nancy. He said that the situation today was very similar to the atmosphere when Reagan was running. Just a bit more colorful (with a big grin)
