He’s wrong.

Trump has personality, he has tons, and tons, and tons of people who are very enthused by him, and even the GOPe is after him.

Goldwater was a terrible candidate. Trump is the best we have had in at least twenty years. Maybe more.

Barry Goldwater was a decent, honest Republican candidate.

But he was up against the loathsome Lyndon Baines Johnson who was the incumbent replacement for the slain JFK & his New Frontier.

The LBJ campaign succeeded in making Goldwater look like a nuclear madman, only two years removed from the Cuban Missile Crisis. Little girl and atomic explosion, etc.

Scarborough’s analogy doesn’t hold water at all.

Will agree with you, but I was way too young to remember 1964.

But with the JFK assassination in 1963, could there have been any GOP candidate that wouldn’t have got their butts kicked by LBJ?
