It’s setting up just to be like 1964, where the GOP establishment didn’t support Goldwater.
I know and only a lot of Trump energy will get past it. He’s going to have to dip into his wallet as well and fund the campaign. Count on the RNC for ads?? Forget it.
The party bosses hope so. But Trump is more like Reagan-- whom the party bosses and media tried to sabotage as well-- in that he, like Reagan and unlike Goldwater, has the capacity to go above the party and the media and reach the people directly.
But now Trump has instant communication, the internet, etc., which Goldwater didn’t have. Plus, Trump knows how to handle the media, where Goldwater did not. And the yuuugest of all; God has His hand on Trump, and Trump IS our next POTUS.
I don’t think Goldwater had the support Donald Trump has.
