Interesting take on the man McCain replaced in the Senate.
After Goldwater left the Senate, he turned into a full blown liberal.
As to the congressional coatails for LBJ, I don’t think that mattered too much (ick Tom Foley elected), his crap probably would have passed anyway. in 1966 the GOP rebounded big time.
The lasting damage from 1964, his vote against the Civil rights act with taken as racist by blacks though it wasn’t in the case of the few northern Republicans who voted against it, and they’ve voted 90% (more for Obama) rat since due to whole thing turning into some kind of “GOP is racist” meme virus. If they only got 70% of the black vote, they’d never win.
Fieldmarshaldj told me the rat in 1980 ran to his right.
In 1992 he was backing rat Karen English for congress for some silly residency reason allegedly (or abortion, suspected reason).
