Oh so now Trump is Barry Goldwater. LOL
If Jeb is the nominee, I will support the Democrat. If we are going to go down the toilet with more Democrat policies, we might as well have a Democrat implementing them.
“on Election Day, voters went “All the Way with LBJ,” who pulled a landslide 61 percent of the popular vote”
Yeah and as we all know todays voters are just like the voters back then. /s/
Forget the little fact that the year before the 1964 election, an American president was assassinated, the electorate was still in shock, his VP became president, and the candidate Goldwater had to run against. Yeah, that was totally irrelevant but that election set an historical precedent. Got it.
Politico, that biased Dem tool, again desperately trying to steer Republicans away from Trump.
It’s almost like they think Trump could beat Hillary!
We’ll see. From where I sit, I see the base TOTALLY fed up with the GOPe. Some of those would vote for Jim Webb rather than Jeb, or Carly, or ....
Just sayin’
The “GOP” seems completely out of touch with the populist wave sweeping politics. That’s fine with me. Waiting for the wailing and gnashing of teeth to follow.
Thank you for this report to Karl Rover via the Walpo.
I think Hillary is tipping her hand, that Democrats will cross over to vote for weakest most liberal Republican and that she has access to the vote-counting apparatus to ensure the Clintonistas will get the correct outcome.
Ignore what is going on sheeple and listen to us. We know because we are controlled media.
Politico=democrat tool!!!
I ain’t voting for no stinking Mexican.
Trump, Carson or Cruz or I am writing in my own name. The rest are liberals.
A. The writer appears to be completely ignorant of why Goldwater lost—and why the margin was so large. There are several factors unique to that election—among them the deliberate sabotage by the Rockefeller wing of the party; the honey-moon allowed LBJ, because of the Kennedy assassination; and the false perception that LBJ was a “conservative,” which was deliberately promoted. Another was the war scare, because Goldwater favored a more aggressive foreign policy than LBJ (or Trump, for that matter).
B. Whether one likes Trump or not, Jeb Bush is virtually irrelevant. The ease with which Trump reduced Bush to a fifth-string factor, says more about Bush’s basic inadequacy, than about Trump’s skill. (Note, it was not Trump’s skill, just his presence, that caused Bush to also drop below several other candidates, when people began to look more critically at the former Florida Governor.)
The Trump Poll Numbers Lie: History says the GOP will still bank on Bush.

Propagandico still backs Jeb! Go figure!
Mark K. Updegrove (Born August 25, 1961)
- Mark K. Updegrove was "3 years old" when Barry Goldwater lost to LBJ.
- Mark K. Updegrove is Director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum.
Mark should stay put in the past!
FNC and FBC is all in on trying to cut Trump with 1000 paper cuts.
This meme was all over the last two days.
And from Goldwater’s legacy was born Ronald Reagan who launched his political rise by making the “Time for Choosing” speech in support of Goldwater. But hey, in revisionist GOPe land Regan was a moderate who we all know the GOPe wholeheartedly supported in his every endeavor.
The eGOP will NOT get my vote. Trump will, but no eGOP anointment will.
History has never seen the GOP base so utterly disgusted as having been REPEATEDLY misled by the GOP candidates and leadership regarding their opposition, or lack thereof, to the Marxist/ Socialist Democrats.
The GOP formerly was largely honest. Now they have shown themselves to be a pack of liars and socialists . . . just like the Democrats. So I don’t think prior history applies this time around.
