Should we trust the nuclear football with an anti-American communist or with a pro-American ex-Governor who believes in American Exceptional ism?
And, isn't this the VERY same campaign they ran against Goldwater?
The parallels are striking. Both considered "too right wing" by even their won party. Insurgency campaigns. Destruction of "elite" control in favor of populism.
The only place I hop it varies is in the final outcome.
And, it's important to note ANOTHER George Will quote from 1980: "It took 16 years to count all of the votes, but Barry Goldwater has won the election".
The famous Daizy add. It didn’t do Goldwater any good for sure.
