Goldwater had a political agenda that was articulated


clearly and consistently, whether one liked it or not.
Trump has a pro Trump agenda - positions on issues are just tools, means to and end, marketing.

Not that most politicians don't change positions for political expediency, but they generally have some firm positions they believe in. Not Trump.

Although I am reminded of this line from the Big Chill - picture Trump saying this

"Whatever, really all that's happening is I'm trying to get what I want. Which is what everybody does, it's just that some of their styles are so warm or charming or sincere or otherwise phony that you don't realize they're just trying to get what they want. So you see, my transparent efforts are in a way much more honest and admirable. "
