Maybe, maybe not but Goldwater was a disaster.

No doubt about that.

To some extent I see it as an object lesson for the current GOP woes.

I wish that it would be so. As noted in another thread, "lessons learned"

another Vietnam. Goldwater's debacle was too long ago for any of the Young
Turks to remember - or learn from.
