This Amazing 1964 Campaign Ad Predicted Donald Trump

[Political Junky]

This brave republican did this ad in 1964 for the Johnson campaign.

For all the similarities between Bogert's "confession" and today's Republican agita at Trump's rise, there's a major difference. A Republican in 1964 could fairly claim that Goldwater's brand of conservatism had snuck up on him, but in 2016, Trump isn't sneaking up on anyone. He's been carefully grown and tended like the Death's Head moth in Silence of the Lambs. Any Republican with the nerve to be surprised by Trump today deserves every pang of discomfort.

So a Democrat used an actor to put together a contrived "I'm a Republican and they're not" cartoon?

Gosh, that's something really unusual!

All it shows is that the Democrats still rely on the public's unchanged gullibility with media.

Question: Why do you employ Chance the Gardener as an avatar? He was a complete idiot mistaken for a genius by media and politics, much like Obama.

It doesn't help your ... ummm, cause much.

Lots of Republicans felt the way Bogert did.
Goldwater lost the entire country, except the Deep South and his home state of Arizona.

Indeed, Johnson had four years. Republicans the next eight. Then Carter four. Republicans the next twelve.

What's contrived about it? He really was a Republican. The really gullible are those that think today's Republicans bear any resemblance to the party of Lincoln.

Trump dates back even further to the "America First" isolationist movement of the 1930's. A movement whose leaders said we had no business getting involved in the fight against the Nazi's. Just think where we'd be if those bigots had gotten their way.
Trump's cheap populist rhetoric is dangerous, narrow minded, and denies the U.S. myriad opportunities in emerging markets like Mexico by isolating and alienating. Trump is so far out of his depth it's ridiculous.

Because the Republicans took the South away from the Democrats by appealing to its racist traditions.

That was the first election where the South voted republican. The South has been solid republican since then. Did you miss that?
