In the sense that Goldwater winning might have resulted in America being less socially conservative, there being less “big government” and “welfare” for the GOP to run against, and a less divided Democratic Party in 1968, yes.

So having less of the policies Democrats support is good for Democrats. Galaxy Brain take right here folks.

No, her best political instinct was to embrace her relatable personality and humor in every single interview ever. Her support for Goldwater and McGovern are close seconds.

No, supporting a candidate who was against the Civil Rights Act is never a good political instinct, particularly with hindsight.
