The book, Before the Storm, which is about Goldwater and his transformation of the Republican party, mentions that Goldwater and McCarthy were very close. To me, this reinforces that McCarthy is not who he is portrayed to be. No politician was more patriotic than Goldwater.

No politician was more patriotic than Goldwater.

Maybe LeMay. But he was an amateur operater that could work cw at 15 wpm also.

Think about LeMay with a President Goldwater. The cold war would have ended in 1956.
