Goldwater a centrist? please explain your thought process on that

Reagan was apparently on Nixon's shortlist in '68, he knew he needed to carry california then, but i agree, would be a long shot in this tl

Rockefeller would be sec of state in this scenario, which would damage his chances, the last sec of state to become president at that time was james buchanan

goldwater would be the gop frontrunner, but would go on to lose the election, probably by almsot the same margins as he did in otl in 1964
