Depends on who had the largest marketing and advertising budget and the overall support of corporate America, who coincidentally also control the private media and basically regulate the messaging of everyone's political campaign.

Corporate influence over American politics pre-1980s was in the backrooms more than the airwaves. Otherwise Goldwater would've won in a landslide in '64.
