I’d be careful of any politician out of Italy. I doubt any sincere politician would make it five steps outside their house in those parts. I’d like to remind people that just because someone says the right things, doesn’t mean that they’ll be entirely good either. Goldwater was like that. He said a lot of the right things and practically crafted modern Republican conservatism, but attended the bohemian grove club before the election of 1964. He was also a known Freemason, like Reagan.
Probably not. Reagan was a Neoliberal, while Goldwater was a libertarian conservative. Goldwater started to show his truecolors later on… that or it was just more noticeable.
I read that it was more that he didn't like the direction Reagan was taking the Republican party. He didn't like Reagan's stances on social issues, such as abortion. He thought Reagan's antiabortion stance was too extreme or something.

I made a post surrounding him and this topic
I read that he didn't really like Reagan. Especially after Reagan became president.
