Trump isn’t Goldwater.
Goldwater wrote the book on how to be the designated loser.
“Trump isn’t Goldwater.”
We know that. The point of the article is that THEY will try to make Trump seem like Goldwater with fear mongering.
Regardless of the Goldwater history and the little girl nuke ads (IIRC), Hillary - if she attempts the “I’m the sane, responsible one who can react responsibly...blah blah”, all Trump has to do is to create a timeline of that night when Benghazi happened, where SHE was, what SHE did, where Obama was, what OBAMA did and say “3AM my ass.”
Goldwater ran an honest campaign, LBJ a dishonest one based on making his opponent look like a dangerous Gen. Jack Ripper.
But the bottom line was that America wasn’t ready for three Presidents in less than a year. Johnson pretended to offer continuity to JFK’s New Frontier, and the voters responded.
The following year we were up to our @zz in Vietnam.
But in our hearts we knew he was right.
In order for Hillary to successfully pull off a repeat of 1964 she is going to have to get Obama to take a parade through downtown Dallas in a convertible.
It was largely the sympathy vote over JFK and Bobby’s speech at the Dem convention in Atlantic City telling America that it was what JFK would have wanted that really turned the election into a blow-out.
True, he stopped running as a Conservative in the General election.
