59:11Now PlayingFifty years ago conservatism was considered a backwater ideology on its way to being consigned to the ash heap of history. Then came Barry Goldwater: cowboy, businessman and politician. In 1964 Goldwater mobilized a large conservative grassroots coalition, the first of its kind, to win the Republican nomination and take on incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson. He lost the Presidential election, but with his conservative ideas and unvarnished straight talk, Goldwater invigorated conservatives and the nation. Without Goldwater, we would never have had Ronald Reagan nor a "win the Cold War" strategy.
