“Grow up”, that’s what Goldwater said in 1960 at the Chicago convention that affirmed the Nixon-Lodge ticket. He told them to go to work to elect Nixon and then to re-take control of the party, which nominated him 1964 but with no chance of election.
Years later, Goldwater, who voted for Nixon three times, called him “the most dishonest man I ever met”. Republicans have a tremendous history, but it is often a history of defeat after defeat.
Therfore, all elections are the same!
I see, you deal in pretzel logic.
