He ran as an Independent in '68 after Robert Kennedy pretty much sewed up the nomination. Then, when Kennedy got shot, Humphrey slid into the role and Wallace knew he had no chance as a Democrat.

But Wallace was always a Democrat.

Other reports have 30,000.

CNN reported that the city said 30,000 attended.

they don't really know who "George Wallace" was...

If one of those pointy headed liberals lay down in front of my car, I will run them over.

That is the George I remember.

I'm far from comfortable that DT has the right prescriptions for obama care

There is no right prescription for Obamacare because the cost of health care bares absolutely no relationship to the customers ability to pay. Health insurance for a family can easily cost more that their home mortgage plus utilities. The main reason for the rapid increase in cost is easily explained, someone else is paying for it so no cares what it costs. Same thing applies to college tuition.

you missed my point, I suspect on purpose, because you are smarter than that.

But I’ll re phrase: Trump praised Scotland and Canada’s health care systems just a few weeks ago. Does that sound like someone getting rid of government run healthcare?

No, it does not. BTW, I agree with all you said about separating the customer from the price of their services....

Not on purpose because it really doesn't matter. Obamacare in some form is here to stay, barring a complete financial meltdown. Every candidate will promise something will be done and they will do something but it will be little more than a name change. Just what I feel will happen.
