The year is 1964….I was 17 and not politically motivated……in those days I was more motivated by Regina “Gypsy” Falcone…..but in that year the presidential race came down to LBJ and Barry Goldwater…..I do not remember much about those political days except for the “Daisy” ad and the ad with the map of the US being sawed upon…..all were anti-Goldwater campaign ads…..

What brings this election to mind was that the GOP candidate was Goldwater and he got the call in a brokered convention…..something the media is dying to happen with this 2016 election……then they could run the election the way they want……

The other day I was watching TRMS on MSNBC and she showed a 4 minute anti-Goldwater campaign ad and watching it I could see a lot of similarities to what is happening in this election…..

But do not take my word for it……watch the video and see what you think…..

The ad was produced by incumbent Lyndon B. Johnson’s campaign, who was looking to court moderate republicans who were put off by Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater, who who was considered an extremist at the time.

In “Confessions of a Republican,” a bespectacled man voices his opposition to Goldwater, and argues that conservatives should throw their support behind Johnson, who would go on to win the 1964 election. Fifty years later, the ad is going viral because the man’s criticism of Goldwater sounds a lot like what both Democrats and Republicans are saying about Trump today.
