Related: About this forumMSNBC just reported that Barry Goldwater's widow said
She's voting for Clinton, and many of her Republican friends are also!
MSNBC had interviewed her and her stepson about comparisons people were making between Barry Goldwater and Trump, which appalled them.

(24,135 posts)This Goldwater girl meme is getting so old considering HRC wasn't even old enough to vote back then and when she was she worked on the McGovern campaign. But you already knew that - you just wanted to disrupt our little forum.
For every one Republican woman who says she will vote for HRC means there are hundreds/thousands more.

Unless there is a double standard ( ), we can expect the same criticism from Sanders' supporters?

My mother (!) is going to vote Clinton. So are her very Republican next door neighbors as Trump is unacceptable. Those are two votes I thought we'd never get, and one I wasn't too sure about.

And NO, as conservative as BG was, he was nothing like Trump. I don't remember him being hateful. (though he must have been racist) He was way more liberal on some stuff-
Some years later, when Peggy's college-age daughter Joanne became pregnant before she was ready to have a family, it was Barry Goldwater who arranged an abortion, Joanne Goldwater said.
In those days before the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling made abortion legal, Joanne Goldwater had to stand on a street corner waiting for a van to take her to a remote house, where the procedure was done on a table, she said.
"I will absolutely never forget that as long as I live," Joanne Goldwater said. "That night was just imprinted in my mind. I wouldn't want any young person to have to go through it. It was a traumatic experience for me."
Joanne Goldwater's daughter CC Goldwater, a political independent, has continued the family tradition and serves as a trustee of Planned Parenthood in Arizona.
"To see the funding be taken away -- it's just ignorance; it's unbelievable," said Barry Goldwater's granddaughter.
