I didn't realize Rick Wilson was that much younger than me. He was about 1 when Goldwater got the nomination. The account of that Republican convention by Jackie Robinson - who supported Rockefeller - is worth re-reading because it was fully Trumpian back in 1964. It was the sanitized, rehabilitated, Supreme Court - Florida under Jeb installed presidency of Bush II that gave us Roberts and Alito. That party has been corrupt for all but, perhaps, the Eisenhower years. There's a reason that Teddy Roosevelt had to leave it a lot earlier than 1964. And TR wasn't any angel by a long shot.
