Sorry... got my years wrong... Goldwater vs Johnson... “time for choosing” was ‘64.

That was a pivotal turning point in our national history where I believe we chose wrong. The GOP establishment did their trick to destroy their own nominee rather than see an outsider take control of “their” party. Like Reagan a generation later, then the TEA Party and Trump another generation later... the GOP establishment is all too happy to undermine a popular outsider in their party if that means loosing an election. They would rather play the “loyal opposition” role if that meant they kept control of “their” party.
