That's what an editorial in The Decatur Daily suggests."Two things......remained constant throughout Wallace’s political career. First was his ability to demagogue almost any hot-button issue. Second was his populist appeal aimed squarely at lower- and lower-middle class, mostly blue-collar whites.
...These are the same constituencies Trump is trying to reach today, with an updated version of the same message, tinged with racism and playing to fears and resentments, as well as the sense of a lost golden age.
It's not the first time the two men have been compared, but perhaps not so directly and not in editorial form.
