What's this?

Trump is worse than 1968 George Wallace


In Wallace's obit, the Huntsville Times (where I lived for a spell) summed up: "His startling appeal to millions of alienated white voters was not lost on Richard Nixon and other Republican strategists. First Nixon, then Ronald Reagan, and finally George Herbert Walker Bush successfully adopted toned-down versions of Wallace's anti-busing, anti-federal government platform to pry low- and middle-income whites from the Democratic New Deal coalition."

Trump isn't adopting a toned-down version, but instead is upping the ante.
