Died. Nelson Rockefeller was pretty much the last one. If you want to read about some truly great republicans, research Earl Warren, Thomas Dewey and Nelson Rockefeller. They are the kind of republicans we need desperately today.
Nothing wrong with Barry Goldwater. Even if you don’t like his politics, he was a good man who I believe was trying to do what was right. Unfortunately, we don’t have much of that today.
@@xenophonanthony2791In hindsight, Goldwater is borderline based. Especially on his staunch opposition to Evangelist incursions into the GOP. What can I say, republican candidates up until 2000 and even 2008 were a different breed. Still can't believe Trump took it all after demeaning McCain for being a war veteran and surviving torture for his country.
@@xenophonanthony2791I used to despise Goldwater back then but looking at the GOP today, even someone like him I would welcome, let alone the kinds of Dewey, Ike, Rockefeller or Scranton. So yeah, agreed
@@OrthopodDrTushar seriously? Catholics and relegious Americans and social conservatives were overwhelmingly Democrat voters back then and they were also fighting for civil rights as a relegious issue because the civil rights movement began in black churches it was relegious movement It is true however that Young liberal Americans were overwhelmingly republican voters But Religion has been a sign of power in american politics for a long time.
@@bestproto5117 this is very, very wrong. Liberals overwhelmingly supported the democrats under FDR for the better part of 12 years. They overwhelmingly supported JFK, and a majority (until the vietnam war really kicked up) support Lyndon b Johnson. President Eisenhower was semi liberal but got more support from moderates. The last time the republicans were really a defined choice for liberals was the 1948 for Thomas Dewey vs Harry Truman, even then a good chunk of the liberals voted for Truman, costing Dewey the election. Also don’t say social conservatives supported civil rights because they didn’t, it’s in the name SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE. Most supported candidates like Goldwater who thought that racial equality should be left up to states and not regulated. Also saying the black civil rights movement was born in black churches would be wrong as well. Black churches played a big role in it, but tons of the earliest black civil rights leaders in the United States were atheist, and later on, many were Muslim (best example would be Malcom X) a large portion of the evangelical community was opposed to desegregation and religious figures often became crusaders against desegregation in the south. Not to say that some religious leaders didn’t support the civil rights movement, tons did but the former commenter has a point. The evangelical movements in politics have consistently been moving the Republican Party further and further to the right
@@vincentpiazza9195 the Republican party didn't move so hard to the right it is the Democratic party that pushed so hard to the left Take a look at JFK and Harry S Truman their views on social issues would have been considered right wing and extreme in today's democratic party Back at the 90's you couldn't find a single democrat supporting late term abortion or redefining marriage Even obama ran in 2008 in favor of protecting marriage but in 2012 the Democratic party included legalizing gay marriage in its platform. So democrats are the ones who kept pushing so hard to the left and gay marriage is just an exemple. FDR was not a liberal Before FDR the term "LIBERAL" meant being anti government being in favor of economic liberalism and social liberalism as well. If you are a liberal before the 30's it meant you have to be in favor of cutting taxes and reducing regulations and investing in the free market as well as respecting state rights just like Goldwater. Those who championed raising taxes and redistributing wealth through government programs and spending were called "Progressives" they were enemies with liberals Until all in a sudden IN the 30's FDR started calling himself a liberal so progressives who supported him started too calling themselves liberals meaning now a liberal is a big government guy. But in Europe being a Liberal means being pro tax cuts and economic freedom and decentralized government. But in today's america being Liberal means being a big government progressive while being a conservative means state rights and cutting taxes! You get it now? Conservative Liberal these are 19th century terms they are now completely used outside of their Past meaning.
@@bestproto5117 FDR was a social liberal, when you say liberal is supporting cutting taxes and reducing regulations, you are talking about market liberalism. That and social liberalism are two profoundly different things. If you research social liberalism, even in other countries you will find that FDR is literally their example of what a social liberal is. Goldwater wasn’t really even a market liberal, more a full on libertarian. You could argue FDR was still ALSO progressive but in reality he did not support most of very far reaching progressive ideas brought about by people like the La Follette family politicians from Wisconsin or even all of the far left economic policies suggested by Huey Long of Louisiana. Also, please research European politics more thoroughly because almost all parties in Europe with the name “liberal” in it are social liberal and don’t support what your describing. Again, some do but there is still two profoundly different things when you describe “market liberalism” and “social liberalism” and even then, most market liberals identify as “conservative” Also there were supporters of gay marriage in both political parties as far back as the 60s so your argument there is flawed. Barry Goldwater himself began to support the legalization of gay marriage in the 1980s. And both Barry and his wife had supported people who had abortions despite them being illegal as far back as the 60s (even though it wasn’t publicized a lot due to how uncommon the outlook was). Nelson Rockefeller himself was a early advocate for legalization of right to abortions and gay rights back in the late 60s.
Don’t be fooled Mitt Romney is nothing like his father he is the epitome of the establishment, George Romney was not your typical politician he fight for civil rights, he entered office with a debt ,and left it with the surplus, he’s incredibly underrated in American history, Mitt Romney is nothing compared to his father.
Emma Bradford Yes. That I fully respect from Mitt Romney to this day even though he clearly addressed what was to come from the right wing part and media if he did so.
@@emmabradford137 Romney only voted to convict on one of two articles, and he knew his vote was meaningless anyway. It’s really easy to “take a stand” when you know it doesn’t matter, and Romney has been doing this for awhile. Then he prostituted himself trying to get Trump to make him Secretary of State after he won. Only then did he become an outspoken critic of Trump. Romney isn’t a traitor, but I’m afraid he’s gutless.
While I disagree with a lot of their policies, I have nothing but respect for the Romneys for opposing the far right in their party, even when it was not in their interests.
It was because he's a supporter of Civil rights movement and Barry Goldwater was against it so that's how he didn't endorsed him, also it was back in 1964
Not only no endorsement, but the whole speech is anti-Golwater: from saying that Republicans should support popular programs (social he meant, Goldwater didn't) to the whole Know Nothing's bit which was a direct assault on Goldwater. Fascinating..
What happened to this type of GOP?
Died. Nelson Rockefeller was pretty much the last one. If you want to read about some truly great republicans, research Earl Warren, Thomas Dewey and Nelson Rockefeller. They are the kind of republicans we need desperately today.
Same thing that has happened to the Democrats today, They have forgotten the people they represent.
If you’re going to ask that, you need to ask what happened to the party of JFK, Moynihan, Strauss, and Nunn
@@vincentpiazza9195 it’s NOT like the modern GOP is filled with Goldwater principles, when nothing can be further from the truth.

Even if you don’t like his politics, he was a good man who I believe was trying to do what was right. Unfortunately, we don’t have much of that today.
The Republican Party also generally took the moderate stance most of the time. Dewey, Ike, Ford, Bush, etc.

Just as spineless & disloyal as his son
fighting against an extremist isnt disloyal
My parents said that George was notorious for stabbing other republicans in the back. Like father, like son.
I mean to be fair, Goldwater was literally against the Civil Rights Act.
