Goldwater liked Jack Kennedy. He was looking forward to the debates, where conservative ideology would challenge and be challenged by the best of liberal ideology. He despised Nixon because Nixon looked him in the eye and lied to him, which prompted his famous rebuke that Nixon could stay in China.
No, not at all. Never read Goldwater"s late in life memoirs. In regard to JFK s campaign, Goldwater knew it was being run by Joe. He was steeped in old west tradition about a man's word and honor, but he was also a realist who could separate the son from the father.
