Trump versus Goldwater (1964)

[Warpy]

3. Goldwater despised the fundies

and a win might have prevented his party from courting them in 1980 by cleaning out all the crooked Nixon appointees who thought they were a worthy voting bloc. Goldwater knew they'd never compromise with anyone on anything and would kill the party.

He was a lot better than that daisy commercial but he had stuffed his foot in his mouth over the possibility of using nuclear bombs on Vietnam. Had he not done that, his loss wouldn't have been such a massive one.

As for the Orange Maggot, I don't know how big his loss will be. It all depends on how far down his spiral goes before there's any recovery among the Archie Bunker types.
