1. I remember Goldwater, and that Johnson commercial with the daisy...

that wiped him out.

I never thought Goldwater deserved that-- he was conservative, but old school conservative, which meant he handled his life and business with honor. Maybe he wouldn't have been a great president, but maybe he wouldn't have snuck us into Viet Nam. And although he believed in civil rights, maybe he wouldn't have fought for them like Johnson did. Can't ever know "what could have been."

But, for sure, I can't compare this lowlife piece of shit running now with Goldwater. No, the two are not even the same species.

Could Trump possibly end up with no states? that would be nice.
