      4. Nixon had little use for Goldwater or movement conservatism. Rightly thought Goldwater would be defeated. Said so before 1964.

      7. Nixon won brownie points with conservative Republicans in 1964. They knew he wasn't one of them, but valued his loyalty to party.

      8. Post-1964, Nixon was able to triangulate between conservative movement & GOP establishment, presenting himself as a compromise candidate

      10. The smart move for Rubio & Cruz is to be like Nixon. Show loyalty this year, so Trumpites trust you in 2020.

      11. The Nixon strategy is especially smart since Trump is likely to lose, and Clinton will have tough time in 2020.

      13. Also beyond smart move: remember every GOP presidential candidate has promised to support eventual nominee.

      14. Of course some, like Rand Paul, are rescinding their promise. But if they want a future in national politics, they can't

          @HeerJeet I think that's why a Trump/Rubio Ticket will emerge outta this cage fight.

          15. Key here is if Trump wins nominee, then national party will be Trumpized. Trump faction will be a force in party for next few cycles.

          16. Other way to look at this: Trump has too much baggage to win national but a streamlined Trumpism without Trump could win in 2020.

          @HeerJeet Even Cruz? Seems like Trump hates him so much that he wouldn't let Cruz campaign for him.

          @Uranowski @HeerJeet Just because Trump hates him today doesn't mean Trump won't gladly accept endorsement tomorrow.
