Barry Goldwater was a massive piece of shit, but he hit the nail on the head when he said this...
"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

Reagan said it, too. Trump definitely didn’t come up with it.
