Nice letter-to-the-editor making the comparison with racist George Wallace:
The voters who “won” are the legacy of the Republican Party’s infamous “Southern strategy.” Angry and ill informed, infected with blind “patriotism” for a Constitution they don’t actually understand and very often religious or racist or both, this crowd, I believe, has always been a solid one-fourth of the American electorate. Only George Wallace and Donald Trump were shameless enough to openly court them; usually it was left to local actors (and the likes of Fox News) to issue the dog whistles and code words that would summon this “deplorable” demographic to the polls. These voters have no need, indeed they have no patience, for the intellectual gloss provided by traditional conservative thinkers.
The problem for the G.O.P. has been that as its support among the broader population has waned, its primaries have become more and more dominated by this demographic. Trump, armed with a con artist’s willingness to lie openly and shamelessly, easily cashed in on the ignorance and gullibility of what is now the Republican base.
If George Wallace was not shot, he would have been the democratic nomination for President.
It's always about policy which you wont discuss since the policies and candidate you back are losers and failures. Instead play identity politics and falsely play the race card.
Your posts are nothing more than filthy race card playing nonsense. You lost. Get over it.

Donald Trump = Donald Trump.
There has been no one like him ever in the History of Politics in the USA.
You would have to go back before the War of 1812, to find anyone close.
Above all odds, to be on the right side of HISTORY.

Quite true... While ignoring the same forces acting on the Democratic Party with all this SJW idiocy.
We need an at large congress and ranked choice voting. Both parties only represent the loony fringe.
