Hillary's face at the end killed me

I actually liked Trump's remarks for the first half. Then he said the Catholic line and it all fell apart.

Hillary and Trump are coming for a 1964 election. The 21st century LBJ and Barry Goldwater.

I've been calling it for a year now.

Hillary served many gif worthy moments tonight I just had to make some.

[King Maxx]

The Republican candidate, Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, suffered from a lack of support from his own party and his deeply unpopular conservative political positions. Johnson's campaign advocated a series of anti-poverty programs collectively known as the Great Society, and successfully portrayed Goldwater as being a dangerous extremist.

Although Goldwater had been successful in rallying conservatives, he was unable to broaden his base of support for the general election. Shortly before the Republican Convention, he had alienated most moderate Republicans. Goldwater was also hurt by the reluctance of many prominent moderate Republicans to support him. Some moderates even formed a "Republicans for Johnson" organization, although most prominent GOP politicians avoided being associated with it.

Some 1,189 psychiatrists appeared to agree that Goldwater was "emotionally unstable" and unfit for office, though none of the members had actually interviewed him

Shortly before the Republican convention, CBS reporter Daniel Schorr wrote from Germany that "It looks as though Senator Goldwater, if nominated, will be starting his campaign here in Bavaria, center of Germany's right wing" and "Hitler's stomping ground" and finding that Goldwater would be speaking to a gathering of "right-wing Germans" uniting the extremists in both countries..

Sounds familiar?

Let's just hope 2020 isn't 1968. The primaries were basically a foreshadowing.

Or 1992. Thing about 1964-1968 was just the complete failure of LBJ to see what was coming. Bless his soul for being the biggest civil rights president, but putting us in the Vietnam War and then the bad luck with MLK and Rob Kennedy's death was a disaster.

Baby boomers, blacks, Democrats, whites, conservatives were all pissed and saddened at that time. The Democrats were split. I assume we can all agree that Hillary's main mission is making sure that coalition stays solid.

[Mike91]

Kennedy = Obama - Young, inspiring politician. Fortunately Obama got to serve two full terms but still.

Clinton = Johnson - Older democrat, not that popular with the younger generation and viewed as more of the same.

Trump = Goldwater - Self explanatory (shame Cruz didn't win as he would have been more fitting).

Millennials were pissed off in 1968?

[Mike91]

And when you think about it, we're basically in the early stages of another civil rights movement and soon another wave of feminism after Hillary takes office.

It's kinda eerie.

I've always thought of Hillary as a female LBJ

LBJ with that double whammy. Alienated moderates/conservatives with the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act and alienated liberals with the Vietnam War.

Also long as Hillary doesn't put us in a war or lower taxes for the wealthy, she's good on at least one front. If she gets comprehensive immigration reform passed, pray for our democracy please.

Vietnam War. Resulted in 26th Amendment that lowered voting age from 21 to 18.

Also the reason our future 45th POTUS went from Rockefeller Republican to a liberal Democrat.

EDIT: Mess. Not millennials. You know I meant Baby boomer.

HRC being the modern day LBJ would be incredible (so long as she doesn't do anything as stupid as Vietnam)
