[Interesting Times]

Looks more like 1968 to me.

How Trump’s presidential campaign resembles his past:

1964? More like ‘76.

The big difference that bears no resemblance to the past is that we have the internet. The internet has neutered the media and they can no longer control the message. Trump has 14 million subscriber on his social media and can get his message out within seconds. That is why Trump has traction. The media is irrelevant. Goldwater never had the internet nor was he net savvy like Trump.

I expect to see the commericial of the little girl picking the daisies when the nuke goes off in the background...Johnson used that against Goldwater very effectively

THE OFTEN WISHED FOR REVOLUTION AGAINST THE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON AND THE INFILTRATION OF COMMIES AND MUZZIES INTO OUR GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM IS HERE- AND DONALD TRUMP INITIATED IT AND LEADS IT.

WE THE PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE.

THE SILENT MAJORITY IS SILENT NO MORE.

WE ARE MAD AS H*LL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE.

DONALD IS OUR VOICE.

DON'T LET HIM DOWN!

The only reason Trump is still in the race is because there hasn’t been a Stop-Trump drive.

As one active in YFG and YAF there are many more contrasts than similarities between AUH20 and Trump. Goldwater people were much more issue oriented and much less into cult of personality. To the extent there was cult of personality, Wn F Buckley had it way over Goldwater. The Goldwater campaign was filled with vigorous debates between the Friedman people and the Austrians. But there was no ad hominem. It was all ideology.
