It happened in 1964. The so-called moderates would not accept Goldwater and supported LBJ instead.
I'd have to check this, but I know I've read it somewhere before. In fact, I think that this event has shaped American politics since. The conservative wing is deathly afraid that the so-called moderates will bolt on them like they did in 1964. So, the conservatives just don't challenge the so-called moderates. Who runs the party then? Hint: It ain't the conservatives.
The LBJ landslide gave us a failed war in Vietnam, unlimited immigration, and a more radical leftist Democrat party. The conservatives must fear this, so they will take a lot of garbage off the so-called moderates.
Time to flip the thing over. If you can be intimidated, you won't be free. The conservatives have to free themselves to fight the left. Otherwise, the so-called moderates will own them. Time to leave the GOP.
