It's George Wallace's GOP Now

[...] with the important exception of race, not one of Wallace's central themes, from his bristling nationalism and his court-bashing to his anti-intellectualism and his aggressive provincialism, would seem out of place at any major Republican gathering today. [...] again leaving race aside, any Republican politician who publicly renounced the Wallace playbook would be finished as a national leader. [...] by becoming George Wallace's party, the GOP is abandoning rather than embracing conservatism, and it is thereby mortgaging both its integrity and its political future.
