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.
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.
