Donald Trump fundraiser to be held at Barry Goldwater's old home in Paradise Valley

[DonViejo]

An exclusive fundraiser featuring presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will take place at the landmark former home of Barry Goldwater, the five-term conservative U.S. senator from Arizona who clinched the GOP nomination for the presidency in 1964 over more moderate rivals.

Goldwater, who died in 1998 at the age of 89, built the ranch-style home in Paradise Valley in 1957. He named the house ''Be-nun-i-kin,'' which is Navajo for ''house on top of a hill.'' On Jan. 3, 1964, Goldwater officially announced his presidential intentions from the patio of the residence. He would lose to President Lyndon Johnson in a historic landslide.

Bob and Karen Hobbs, business and civic leaders who campaigned for Goldwater in the 1964 presidential election, paid $4.1 million for the property in 2000.

The location of the 2 p.m. Saturday Trump fundraiser was confirmed by someone who received an invitation and will be attending the event.

4. Goldwater

would have thrown him out on his ass. He was a conservative, but he was sane and put the interests of the country ahead of his political life.
It was widely reported that he and JFK had a genuine respect and regard for each other, even though they fundamentally disagreed on most major policy issues.

5. Exactly. Trump is a buffoon.
