Right! Who else ran in 1968 besides Nixon?

Maybe you should go to school.

Doesn't matter who ran on the Democratic side. Nixon's southern strategy of racial politics Is the issue.

Southern strategy in 1968? Are you talking about the 5 states that went to a third party candidate?

You are so confused! Log off the page and go educate yourself.

You mean the Goethe Wallace states that moved sharply republican after a certain law was passed in 1965?

Wallace took the 5 states in 1968. The Voting Rights Act was in 1965. Aren't you a little confused with your time line? I suggest a bit of reading before you embarrass yourself further.

It was the first presidential election after the empowerment of a racial minority, and you blow that off.


How white of you.

How stupid are you?

George Wallace won the heart of the deep south in 1968, taking 5 states in the Electoral College.

Empowerment? Not hardly! Those newly enfranchised voters didn't help Humphrey at all! Nixon cleaned his clock in the other southern states with the exception of Texas.

Now that you have been schooled, don't you feel more intelligent than before?

That doesn't reconcile your party's celebration of the Confederacy, and how they are upset that the Confederacy was defeated

Where did you go to school to learn history? GOP led the fight to defeat the Confederacy.

when the tacitly racist southern politicians overwhelmed the Republican Party to elect Nixon.

Why is it that our nation must always be limited by the racial politics of a long ago defeated antebellum south?

Can't you bubbas go to school?

You are so ignorant of history or are just too uninformed you repeat the democrat lies. It was a democrat that stood in the school house doors saying: "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" It took a Republican president sending in troops to stop the democrat racist.

The Lie of Richard Nixon’s Racism

Nixon won the South not because he agreed with them on civil rights—he never did—but because he shared the patriotic values of the South and its antipathy to liberal hypocrisy. When Johnson left office, 10 percent of Southern schools were desegregated. When Nixon left it 70% were.
