I call Barry Goldwater this time a more moderate and libertarian verison

Granted, though I doubt you'll get much traction. You were crushed in 1964, after all

I’m gonna be playing the more moderate and libertarian verison of Goldwater that was present later on in his life.

Alright, but be prepared for a lot of grilling on Flip Flopping

I’ll explain it in my announcement speech

Senator Goldwater President announcement speech
April 2nd 1967 in Phoenix Arizona


Thank you thank you everyone!! A few years ago in this exact location I saw myself be defeated in the worst way any candidate would of been and after that election I thought to myself were my critics right?  

I saw down and looked over what I did wrong and I said I did a lot of things that time around that I largely regret. The things I said and the things I did were completely horrible and I honestly thought long and hard of resigning from the senate. However I had a change of heart and I decided to research and look into the issues more harder.   And I am telling you right now that you have right now a whole new Barry Goldwater!

*Crowd cheers* Put it like this. I will fight for every person of this great county black,white,Hispanic,gay straight, rich,middle class,Republican,Democrat and Independent!!

Folks the founding fathers would roll in their graves if they saw how big this government is, All the taxes and fees you have to pay all the regulations business have, All the wasteful spending we have! The attacks and control on our 2nd ammdement!!! The idea of free enterprise being attack and the war that is going on in Vietnam that we can’t seem to win!  That would find it unacceptable!

So that is why I will once again in 1968 run for the Republican Party nomination for President Of the United States!

*Crowd claps and cheers*

How can I apply for the debate?

just say you'd be willing to go for a debate and accept the challenge. Since there are more than one person debating, I'll begin writing the debate today.

Goldwater is willing too.

[Jaguar4life]

Can Goldwater be in the next debate?

Can Goldwater be in the next debate?

Nixon specifically challenged Baker to the one on the eighth, and I thought Goldwater already was in the one on the fifteenth.

Oh yeah

[Jaguar4life]

If the former republican candidates want to give their delegates to Goldwater PM me

[Jaguar4life]

Can I announce my running mate?

[Jaguar4life]

If you want to be my running please PM me and let me know.

[Jaguar4life]

Are we allowed to make speeches at the convention?

[Jaguar4life]

Baker has Goldwater’s full endorsement

[Jaguar4life]

I’m predicting that Kennedy will still end up winning as he probably would of beaten Nixon OTL in 68 if he had lived.

[Jaguar4life]

My prediction for now for this election is a slight Kennedy victory.
