Alzheimer’s? This makes no sense at all. Just another celeb dirtball chucker.
Ben, He couldn’t be any worse than the clown in office now.
So the elites, like Ben Stein, think all Trump supporters are from the “hills and hollers”. This is yet another example of how out of touch the GOPe and GOP-elite are with the grassroots anger with the GOP.
“He is the voice of the unspoken, unwashed voice of the people coming down from the hills and hollers and they are very, very angry.”
Sounds more like Andrew Jackson than George Wallace.
What is left about George Wallace as a historical figure if you take away the racism? Still, Ben seems to get it. It’s a movement and people are willing to go to more effort to vote than normal (hence the hoots and hollers), and he very well could win. We won’t think about what happened to Wallace, and pray that Mr. Trump’s security plus the secret service, are more than sufficient to protect him.
George Wallace’s position on race evolved during his political career. In 1962, he advocated segregation. In 1972, he didn’t emphasize race and even sought out black votes. In 1982, he had long since repudiated his earlier segregationist views and won over much of the black vote in his final campaign for governor.
Then David Duke is his Lester Maddox?
Well there is something about Trump that reminds me of the “Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act”......
Bullets are the traditional way the establishment deals with populists.
What a useful idiot. His claim to fame is “Beuller? Beuller?”
Alright. Ben Stein a Nixon speech writer. The Nixon administration ended well, didn’t it. ;-)
Everything is racism on FR tonight to the extent that the Leon Trotsky Brigade of mutant disruptors must be at work beating that bullcrap invented word to death. I’ve got to come up with a shorthand to call it out every time I see it. Trotskyite crap. That’s it.
Well, I do live in the foothills of the White Mountains. I took a shower this morning, though, and I'm not really unspoken. I have an earned doctorate, but I'm not sure what a holler is.
And you know, "angry", or even "very angry" trivializes the way I feel.
I am frosty and determined on vengeance is what I am, vengeance on the wreckers of the American Constitutional Republic that I was born into and where I've taught my children to love the Lord and their nation.
As a famous American said, I'm too old to go bushwhacking, but I'm not too old to vote, and that's exactly what I did on February 9.
Nice to see that Stein is SUPPORTING Trump, since Wallace had a GREAT MESSAGE, once you back out his racism.
Unfortunately for Dems, Wallace was the #2 choice of union members in the mid-west back in 72, behind McGovern. Some Dem bigwigs were confused by this, but they were both perceived as anti-establishment. In McGovern’s case it was just an act, but Trump could cause trouble in the same states.
