Yesterday, Saturday, I voted for Trump in the Louisiana primary and wore my 1964 Goldwater badge to the poll. I was active in the 1964 presidential election and back then the establishment existed and was called the “Rockfeller Republicans”, today called the RNCe.
Goldwater was doing quite well in the fall of 1963 against Kennedy but after Dallas the tide turned against him but he did carry Louisiana and five other southern states.
I have a recording of his acceptance speech in San Francisco that I will have to give a listen to today after I mow the yard.
Go Trump, Go Cruz...
Go to hell Rubio, political midget with a motor mouth...
Love it. Some folks have longer memories than mine. I did not know the Romney connection to the ‘64 election.
If Rockefeller was alive today he would be closer in philosophy to Trump than any other candidate. Cruz comes closer to Goldwater and Reagan and it isn’t even debatable.
If elected Trump at best will be another Nixon or Ford the two worst republican presidents in my lifetime.
