'''Barry Morris Goldwater''' (January 2, 1909 – May 29, 1998) was a United States [[Senator]] (1953–65 and 1969–87) and the [[Republican]] nominee for [[President]] in 1964. He reinvented the Republican Party after the defeat of [[Richard M. Nixon]] in 1960, benefiting from a national grassroots conservative effort that overcame the Eastern liberal Republicans and [[Nelson Rockefeller]] in 1964. Goldwater was strongly anti-[[communist]] and called for a rollback of its influence around the world, asking, ''Why Not Victory.''  He called for an end to liberal domestic policies as supported by the [[New Deal Coalition]]. Goldwater was defeated in a sweeping landslide in 1964 by incumbent Democrat [[Lyndon B. Johnson]].  Goldwater lost the leadership of the conservative movement to [[Ronald Reagan]], but returned to the Senate where he continued to support a strong defense. Unlike libertarians, Goldwater was hawkish on foreign policy, and Goldwater became irrelevant in his later years as he criticized social conservatives like [[Jerry Falwell]]. He was a commentator for CNN in its early years.<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2209&dat=19810516&id=P6krAAAAIBAJ&sjid=IP0FAAAAIBAJ&pg=4291,3826132 ''CNN is a 24 hour video newspaper''], by Tony Seideman, The Telegraph, May 16, 1981</ref>
