Barry Goldwater was a decent, honest Republican candidate.
But he was up against the loathsome Lyndon Baines Johnson who was the incumbent replacement for the slain JFK & his New Frontier.
The LBJ campaign succeeded in making Goldwater look like a nuclear madman, only two years removed from the Cuban Missile Crisis. Little girl and atomic explosion, etc.
Scarborough’s analogy doesn’t hold water at all.
Trump is actually the opposite of Goldwater. He beats Hillary among independendents but has weak support among republicans.
He has about 70% of support among republicans and she has about 80% support among dems, etc.
Rebublicans will probably unify as the elections gets near and he picks the VP, etc. The numbers don’t bode well for Hillary going forward. She may very well have hit her ceiling and she’s still bellow 50%.
Well said.
And Barry Goldwater’s economic adviser was Milton Friedman!!
