Goldwater did those southern states in 1964, but by 1968 all but South Carolina were taken away by George Wallace.
Then in 1972, Nixon grabbed almost everything including the south.
In ‘76, Carter got it.
Nixon didn’t take the South forever for the Republicans. I was wrong. I believe we took it after Carter until Clinton in ‘92
Did you live, or even visit the South, during those times?
I bet you didn’t. You are a continent, even a world, away from the South. Please don’t comment on something you know nothing about.
“Then in 1972, Nixon grabbed almost everything including the south.”
Yes, by hook or crook he wasn’t going to let Chicago defeat him, again.
However, do not diminish his opposition. McGovern was as far left as Obama, but he was honest about it.
“In ‘76, Carter got it.”
He sure did, because any Republican would have lost because of Watergate, and the media.
Even Reagan.
That same media who should be reporting on Benghazigate right now.
“Nixon didn’t take the South forever for the Republicans.”
I’m a Southerner, and I didn’t like Nixon. However, when paired against McGovern...RIP...Nixon was sunshine and rainbows.
“I was wrong. I believe we took it after Carter until Clinton in ‘92”
Only because...”Read my lips...no new taxes”. Another RINO squish.
Frankly, I’m surprised, and disappointed, in your comments. I don’t say that lightly because I’ve always liked and respected you.
You should study history. I have the advantage on you because I lived it.
