From Mitt's anti-Trump speech:
Quote:

"In 1964, days before the presidential election, Ronald Reagan went on national television and challenged America that it was a 'Time for Choosing.' He saw two paths for America, one that embraced conservative principles dedicated to lifting people out of poverty and helping create opportunity for all, and the other, an oppressive government that would lead America down a darker, less free path," he said in the prepared remarks.

Wouldn't there be a pretty good argument that Trump's nomination has it's closest parallel in Goldwater? I know Romney just wants to connect Reagan to anti-Trump fervor, but historically this comparison makes little sense.
