Whenever liberals in the media approvingly cite conservative leaders, like Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, it’s to somehow contrast them as suddenly reasonable and sensible. Unlike the modern Republican Party.
So it’ not a shock that Politico is looking to Goldwater as a model for how the Senate GOP should respond to Donald Trump: In other words, tell him to resign. This is what the Arizona senator did with Richard Nixon in 1974. That way it would spare going through a Senate impeachment trial in which the all Democrat team of House managers would have to present their incredibly weak case.
Such is the fantasy of Garrett Graff who (surprise! surprise!) is now working on a history of Watergate. As with many other liberals, Graff yearns to relive Watergate despite no criminal charges against Trump. Graff laid out his fantasy on Wednesday in Politico with "Why No GOP Senator Will Stand Up to Trump." At least Graff is realistic enough to know that his fantasy wish will not be granted even though he desperately yearns for it.

They think we forgot about the way Goldwater and Reagan were treated. I did not.
