Most of my older relatives voted Johnson/GOP. German Catholic Republicans who thought Goldwater was a crazy person.

Interesting anecdote. The last part seems to be why so many Republican voters went for Johnson that year, because they didn't trust Goldwater as competent enough to handle policy on the world stage.

I really think that's the big reason Goldwater did so badly too. It wasn't out of hate of his policies or love for Johnson, it was really due to doubts about his competence.
