Simple...folks, the current Democrat party still does not see or understand that Hillary Clinton is political poison & suicide for herself & the entire Democrat Party!!! They never wii see it, either, until the evening of November 8, 2016 when Clinton will be politically destroyed by Donald J. Trump, and, a good portion of the failed Democrat Establishment Party will go down politically with her!!! End of story!!!
>>> I don’t think Hillary’s smart enough to do that.
Oh, I think Hillary is smart enough to know that. But she just doesn’t care.
She’s counting on the mass media and her Dem machine to cover for her completely. And it might still work. Her ambition (life long obsession) is just too great, it is all about her and now is her time (Obama stole it from her 2008).
I am so sick of the non-GOPe candidate X as Goldwater meme. Goldwater, Bob Water, Tom Water, whoever Water was losing that election in 1964. Who the hell was going to beat the ghost of a martyred President!?! Who was going to beat that ghost and one of the dirtiest bastards in American political history?
If anything, it is Trump as Johnson in this one. This guy is going to go for the jugular each and every time it is exposed.
Bernie would have been an easier kill though.
Apparently standing by state rights helped do him in.
The point probably is the fear mongering against Goldwater was completely baseless. He was a small c isolationist leaning person. If anything he probably would have told the world to take a flying you know what, and just leave us alone. And now lets get down to fiscal policy.
That IS the Goldwater story. He was hated, much as was Reagan later, by the East Coast Establishment. I am sure that did a lot to keep voters at home.
Yes Johnson was a despicable POS, as a person and as a leader. He did give a shite about what the people thought. And he left a mess for Nixon to clean up.
Trump will flip that around one here and question of who can be trusted with nukes will hurt Hillary, not help her. Count on it.
He won Texas, so Texans were obviously hoodwinked into thinking he was one of them.
The campaign will not succeed.
LBJ would not have lost to George Washington in 1964.
A hugely popular Kennedy had just been assassinated and LBJ hadn’t been in office long enough to become unpopular. The Vietnam war was barely starting to escalate and the country was still caught up in Kennedy’s glamor.
Today, you have an aging ruling class felon trying to succeed a failed and unpopular president of her own party.
The facts on the ground are completely different between 1964 and today.
With current technology we'd hit their nice little rock plus or minus a few yards at worst.
“The facts on the ground are completely different between 1964 and today.”
The problem is very few people care or bother to learn the ‘facts’.
I don’t think it will work for the reason that the electorate of today is not like it was then, IMHO.
Liz Peek is another Wall Street establishment type. She is a nobody whose opinions are worth the same as the rest of the msm flunkys and are predictably negative on Trump.
“I don’t think it will work for the reason that the electorate of today is not like it was then, IMHO.”
Today they are a lot more ignorant and bought off with social welfare goodies.
