George Corley Wallace

Was thinking how much Trump's movement reminds me of his. Not sure about the racist business but in the way both are/were the renegades of their respective political parties. There are many sage political analysts who believe Wallace would have been a serious threat in 1972 since most Democrats were still moderate to conservative voters. I still remember GCW telling a crowd that he didn't care what the rest of the world thought about America that instead the rest of the world should be worried about what America thought of them since we were feeding most of them...

I agree completely, but I imagine we view that comparison differently.

They are certainly both assholes, so I can understand the comparison.

Maybe so but both never cared what the likes of you thought...
