Goldwater lost in a landslide because he ran against a dead man. You republicans need to get over your Goldwater affliction.
If Trump gets shafted and your people manage to get one of your candidates instead while you ignore the results of the primaries, you're looking at three million potential republican voters staying home on election day.
Goldwater chose to be an idiot, and say stupid shit. His cracks about nukes and wishing the eastern seaboard would drift out to sea were dumb. He easily goes down with Wendell Willkie as the two worst candidates that the GOP has ever run (at least he was an actual Republican). Trump is basically a blend of Willkie (a Democrat) and Goldwater (a crank and a fool). Anyway, who needs for Trump to admire Hitler when he already admires Mussolini?
