Add to SetSummary
Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater's views on the military, welfare, and limited government contrasted not only with those of President Lyndon Johnson, his Democratic opponent, but also with some in his own party. A conservative, Goldwater rejected the views of liberal Republicans, which he claimed just echoed Democratic policies. On November 3, 1964, the voters decided--they chose Johnson in a landslide.
