From the supplier: Barry M. Goldwater is mostly remembered as the victim of London Johnson's victory in the 1964 presidential elections. Developments such as Johnson's leadership in foreign affairs and the reckless attitude of Goldwater in escalating the Vietnam war contributed to his defeat. Goldwater's style of conservatism was scrutinized by the media and he was labeled a weak decision maker compared with Johnson.
