As my grandfather used to say, "They said if I voted for Goldwater, we'd end up in a war. So, I voted for Goldwater and we ended up in a war."

[edsova]

Goldwater pulls a Mondale: "let's be honest, both president Johnson and I will expand the war in Vietnam, he won't tell you, I just did."

[valeriej.chapin]

I was for Goldwater at the time. Liked his stance

[aridanielbradshaw]

Goldwater would have changed the course of US history.

[truwu]

I wish Goldwater won, a small government, pro-civil rights and personal liberty, anti-communist president would have been great

[mathieuleader]

ooh we could've had a younger Gerald Ford in office in this timeline as Ford was one of Goldwater's top picks for VP

[starman]

Would you call Goldwater the first of the new right republicans or would you call him something else

[mathieuleader]

in this timeline I think America had its first female VP in the form of Claire Booth-Luce.

[charlieputzel]

The thing about the escalating the Vietnam war is that if we invaded the North China would've gotten involved, which means a choice between loosing everything or massively increasing conscription. Goldwater wouldn't see a second term.

[SerialDesignationG]

In a better timeline, JFK would have survived and gotten re-elected in 1964, and then Barry Goldwater would have been elected in 1968. Boo LBJ!

[VALKORION]

Keep it up man, great content 👍🏽. We need more of this on YouTube.

Doesn't really say how things would be alternate, just gives a brief overview of Goldwater basic political beliefs

RIP 💐 🙏 Goldwater & Johnson ❤️ 🕊 🇵🇭

[luisreyes]

This was the very Barry Goldwater who wanted to drop nukes on North Vietnam. 😣

[speedopolis]

Actually Goldwater was a supporter of civil rights and voted yea in every civil rights act except 1964. Idk why but he voted nay in it

[jimba]

As I use to say, "They said if I voted for Trump, we'd end up in war. So, I voted for Trump and we ended up in war."

[boozashakes]

I love AuH2o my favorite presidential candidate

[hagaibinsealtiel]

Quite opposite of Trump whose approach to foreign policy was simply "Live and let live" (but if you work against us we'll do what we have to do)

[kingced]

First Neoconservative or something else?
