Won the popular vote as Rockefeller! I high key wish Rockefeller ran and won in '64.
Rockefeller did run, and he won a few primaries too. The problem was that he had a scandal around divorce and remarriage, and conservative Republicans went for Goldwater instead.
Yeah, I remember reading that. Damn shame. Idk if he would have actually won but he would have had a better shot than Goldwater.
rockefeller
(in all seriousness, yeah, shame he was never president)
Rock getting caught having an affair left the door open for Nixon, and for LBJ (who was an underrated positive force as POTUS) to decay and shove an unpopular successor down the parties throat
rocky!
