Another reflection.
In 1964 Barry Goldwater won the GOP nomination for POTUS and
a cabal of leftist R politicians led by George Romney and Nelson
Rockefeller initiated an aggressive media campaign against him;
ensuring his crushing defeat by Johnson. This confirmed what the
R leadership had always been: Progressive Left since Fremont in 1856.
Sure every 50 years or so a Reagan or Trump type wins. So what?
Nothing fundamental changes as the GOP is very comfortable w/the
likes of Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, McKinley,
Taft, Harding, Hoover, Eisenhower, the Bushes and all the rest.
Doofus Romney and zero Ryan are more of the same; two schmucks
looking for a DC job.
Sadly some voters who call themselves conservatives will never, ever wise up!!!
