Barry Goldwater ‘would be appalled’ by Trump raising money in his home, his widow says

Donald Trump's presidential campaign often draws comparisons to the 1964 White House bid of Barry Goldwater — a conservative icon who clashed with the Republican establishment but galvanized grass-roots activists to secure the party's nomination, only to suffer a landslide loss in the general election.
Trump hopes to bask in the glow of the Goldwater legacy when he holds a fundraiser Saturday at the late Arizona senator's landmark estate in Paradise Valley — the same home, in a wealthy enclave of Phoenix, from which Goldwater launched his presidential campaign a half-century ago.
But one important person is queasy about Trump's plans to campaign there: Goldwater's widow.
“Ugh or yuck is my response," Susan Goldwater Levine said Thursday night when called by a reporter. "I think Barry would be appalled that his home was being used for that purpose. Barry would be appalled by Mr. Trump’s behavior — the unintelligent and unfiltered and crude communications style. And he’s shallow — so, so shallow.”
