Might want to bear in mind that Wallace was a Democrat.
He ran as an Independent in 1968, and when he returned to the Democratic fold in the '72 primaries, he got shot and damn near killed for his trouble, thanks to one Arthur Bremer and whoever was behind that attempted assassination. Then the 'RATS ended up being taken over by the left wing McGovern wing of the party, and we all know how that turned out for them.

Re: BTW Pollutico - Wallace was a Democrat.
BRAVO!!! Many people lose sight of the fact that most of the institutionalized racism and bigotry ( i.e. the Jim Crow Laws ) which existed after the Civil War and beyond can be laid at the door of the Democrats.
BTW Pollutico - Martin Luther King was a Republican.
Democrats even tried to smear Martin Luther King back in the 1960's - until they decided it was politically expedient to hijack the Civil Rights Movement!
Here is an interesting article from the National Black Republican Associatiuon

What's great is that most libtards & progtards are historically illiterate to the extent that they don't really know who "George Wallace" was...
LOL!

I heard that they were expecting 30, which is why they got the stadium, which (again, heard) holds 40.
Right there I saw the problem with the visuals of a stadium being 1/4 empty, knowing some would focus their cameras on the empty seats.

I have a friend who was guarding Wallace that day and disarmed Bremer. He said when you are in crowds like that, viz. the Trump picture, personal protection is impossible. I am sure Trump was wearing a vest.

“... and when he returned to the Democratic fold in the ‘72 primaries...”
He won the MI demorat primary that year.

Great photo!!!
I love the "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" hat. Sessions wore one in white at the rally. Hope they become "the fashion" for 2016!!!
To: Flick Lives
Yes, as we all know ANY political rally that takes place in the south is automatically racist to idiots like this author.

Look at the expression on that woman’s face!

Everyone knows that Trump is not a racist. They’ve seen him interact with people of all races on his tv show and in his business life as well as his celebrity life. If they want to start this smearing of him as a “George Wallace” they will not have the desired effect. Foolish attacks of political correctness have failed against him so far and they will continue to fail.

He [Wallace] won the MI demorat primary that year.
He did indeed, in addition to the Maryland primary, and in Florida, Wallace won EVERY county. He had a lot of grassroot support (as did Senator Henry 'Scoop' Jackson who actually had more delegates than Wallace at the convention, 525 to 382, of course nobody shot Jackson), all of which is why I think there was more to Bremer's assassination attempt in Laurel Maryland than will ever be known.
