one of the wonderful examples of that is some of the speeches that george wallace's family have made recently. what you are looking at now is a speech by peggy wallace kennedy in montgomery, alabama. this is a speech given in 2015, the day after the bloody sunday 50th anniversary celebration was held in selma. so she is speaking to a group of congressmen that are coming down with john lewis to speak with her. i think one of the most powerful parts of this speech is the moment where she directly addresses congressmen john lewis and she says, you know, she talks about this moment in march 2009, where they walk across the bridge together, and they hold hands. and she realizes this is such a wonderful gift that she has been given, to be able to have this moment with john lewis, where they have moved beyond the pains of the past and they are looking towards the alabama the future. speech,inal leg of her as georgebut today, wallace's daughter and as a person of my own, i want to do for you what my father should have done, and recognize you for your humidity and for your dignity as a child o

george wallace makes the statement he is defined this intrusion -- defying this intrusion of federal government into state law and the integration of state universities. what you see here is wallace's reading copy that he read from -- that he read his statement from that day in 1963. in the speech, wallace sets up this debate between states rights and federal rights. as we see on the second page, he makes a very powerful stance against federal involvement. he says i stand here today as governor of this sovereign state and refused to willingly submit to illegal usurpation of power by the central government. the lasting impact of this speech is not necessarily that he made a successful stance against desegregation of the university. it is actually that he sets himself up to become a national political figure that is thising the desires of population feels like they have not been heard, this group of white southerners but also middle-class working americans who feel their views have been overshadowed by the federal government. once the state troops arrive, about two hours later, about 12

because of any intense political motive or anything specific to george wallace.e wanted to be famous. he originally planned on trying to shoot nixon but thought that might harder to pull off so he settled on george wallace instead. that shooting happened may 15th. may 15th, 1972. the very next day after being shot five times in that assassination attempt, george wallace was quoted from his hospital bed as saying he would continue to campaign. he would stay in the presidential race. and indeed, that same day, may 16th, 1972, the day after he was shot, the states of maryland and michigan held presidential primaries and you know what, george wallace won beth of them overwhelmingly. he not only won but voter turnout went way up due to what was called at the time, "substantial sympathy vote." voters in maryland and michigan essentially voted in solidarity with segregationist alabama governor george wallace because somebody just tried to kill him and he was fighting for his life. in michigan that bizarre 1972 primary held under those bizarre circumstances notch ed the

. >> reporter: 1968, former alabama governor jorge wallace george wallace faced trump-level protests. >> i'm going to have him taken out of here. >> reporter: sound familiar? >> he's all mouth, get him out. >> reporter: like trump, george wallace blasted the media for crowds. >> i want to tell these people, if you think we are causing is trouble, you ought to head for the holler horns. >> if i say don't hurt him, the press says, trump isn't as tough as he used to be. >> george wallace was shot in 1972. ends usually don't come out well. and usually there's something catastrophic that happens. >> reporter: it's unlikely that any of this anger management problem will hurt trump's results tomorrow. >> we're going to win, win, win. we're going to win so much you're going to get sick and tired of it. >> reporter: if you're waiting for him to change his tone, or his message, don't hold your breath. i'm david wright for "nightline" in miami. >>> up next, something a little different. why the current president of the rapping in the rose garden constipated? trust number one doctor recommended d

and ultimately the george wallace supporters, the south, leaves the democratic party. and this, without the south, is impossible to win nationally and the republicans recognize this. so here's ronald reagan in columbia, south carolina, 1980. this was not republican territory. 20 years before. at all! and now it is. so the reddening of the south is a big -- is a significant shift for the republican party as well as the democratic party. these parties are constantly changing. they're constantly changing and dynamic institutions, which is one of the reasons that a two-party system is so enduring. i'll talk about that a little bit in a moment. so this all sets us up for a moment when -- and this is i think a good lesson of why you should never make predictions too far out because this time in the cycle of 1992, a year and a half before, george h.w. bush seemed unbeatable. because of the successful gulf war, because the economy was still pretty good and no major democrat was willing to go there because they thought they were going to lose. so you end up with these guys. an

that andrea mitchell thing, george wallace, i bet you he said something similar to what barack obamasaid. i bet you could dig that up. george wallace in his long political career saying something similar to what barack obama once said. behind this. this is atactic that they have embraced. and you say? >> and i say there are five stages of grief, bill, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. they denied donald trump whatever run he ran. then they denied he was going to win. is he winning. stage. we have seen anger. my other co-host over here geraldo3 talent to do take me outside and punch me once because we argued about the trump wall. it's the last ditch stage of anger. the media is complicit on both sides. the establishment media with the left-wing media are attacking trump and it's their last moment before they get into that depression stage which will finally inevitably lead to an acceptance stage which will happen. >> no, they will never going to accept him, bolling. they will never accept donald trump. >> they're going to have to. they are not going to have a choic

this time, the really divided party is the republican party. >> in fact, so divided you had george wallaceor of alabama, split off, go into a third party and run. it's interesting because you even have some trump supporters who have made the wallace connection themselves. i want to play a little bit of sound, and this is from august. this was a 73-year-old supporter in alabama, and this is what this person said. they said, quote, donald trump is telling the truth. oh, i think we might have it. we don't have it. okay. i'm going to read it. donald trump is telling the truth, and people don't always like that. said donald kid, a 73-year-old retired pipe welder from mobile, alabama. he's like george wallace. he told the truth. it's the same thing. if that's the case, if people are making that same connection, then do we have the resurgence of a sort of george wallace style candidate? >> i think in some measure, yes. and i think mr. trump does bear a lot of the responsibility, because he is essentially mouthing off certain things. i mean, he started off with mexicans. he's gone on to muslims, a

he is almost doing with it more deliberateness than george wallace did. wallace at least pretended at times to be civil. what is remarkable about what donald trump is doing, he is sort of exalting, he is out there shouting and playing the thug and encouraging people to do that. he is inciting violence. can you win a republican primary this way? i sure hope not. i know you can't win a general election this way. there are not enough white people in america who are angry at those who aren't white to win an election this way. it is an absolute train to nowhere. incredibly disruptive for the country. and it really, he has no idea what he's playing with. >> i want to bring you in here. you are a donald trump supporter. we heard from a donald trump supporter at this event who felt like he was denied the right to hear his candidate speak. what do you want to hear the man you're supporting say? >> well, i think he said tonight exactly what i wanted him to say. at the end of the statement, he said please go in peace. last night in the debate he reannounced violence.

. >> george wallace from the podium as protesters are pulled out of his rallies in 1968. george wallace ran in a segregationist campaign. he won five states. three donald trump has won. at the time that george wallace was running this extremist, overtly racist campaign in 1968, a lot of people wondered if it would start the rise of european style facist politics. it was also the style by which they were conducting themselves as political figures. violence is a key part. violence is seen as instrumental in those kind of movements. one of the ways they exerted their political effort is they had thugs who accompanied them on their political rounds and attack political rivals and beat up people at political rallies and make sure not just the threat of violence but actual violence was part of the appeal, part of the package in that kind of t mobilization. in the donald trump we haven't seen any para military, pro-trump, uniform gang thing going on be p. we haven't seen that emerge yet. they're so reliably violent we're starting to wink at the possibility that donald trump even

by the way, george wallace carried michigan.'m joined by the round table, heidi, a senior political reporter for "usa today," and a columnist with "bloomberg news." i know baited breath, dachd, i want to start with heidi. if you look back in history, george wallace carried the democratic primary in michigan. >> particularly, chris, down in the southeastern portion of michigan, where i happen to come from, the reason why this is so critical in michigan is because this resentment over trade, the big argument that sanders and trump are making, has been festering over 20 years with the free trade agreement. you're talking about the white working glass heritage immigrants who maf seen a lot of the closure of plants, and who really witnessed the devastation of the automotive industry. and what was so devastating, chris, is the expectations. i grew up with a lot of these kids who are now adults. we grew up solidly middle class. but, you know, bernie sanders talks about kids in this country not having as good of a future as their parent

. >> george wallace. >> right. who lost big and had some members, democrats who wouldn't support mcgovern, republicans who wouldn't support goldwater. trump is beyond that. he is in more a weird mix of george wallace, ross perot and these candidates who are so far outside the -- not just the party establishment but the world that most conservative voters operate in. >> do you know what people said in june when trump got into the race? his unfavorabilities were so high, he could never win. if all 106 presidential candidates we've had, no one has had worse unfavorables than trump. he moved those numbers and is now the presumptive nominee. >> defying boundaries. >> he is defying boundaries. >> it is not -- >> what's inaccurate is the unfavorables outside of the -- >> we're talking june numbers. that's within the republican party. >> in the republican party, he has decent favorable numbers. he also has some of the weakest support and weakest ratings of any potential mairjor party nominee since walter mondale. >> walter

i see the 1968 george wallace rallies. that's the year hubert humphrey was going to be the nominee.aught richard nixon and the republican party how to win across the south. he used the same flamboyance, communicating with the voter saying i understand your grievances, had a sense of humor about it. they also were quite menacing to black and jewish protesters. and so the interesting thing that we see now is that trump reinvigorated the style and david duke, chicanery around his fund-raising for george wallace in 1972, the innovation that david duke is sort of credited with in white nationalism is marrying klanism which is essentially anti-black with naziism. so now with a jewish man running and a woman running prominently and donald trump doing this, it's a throwback. >> the relationship of donald trump as an individual candidate, obviously there's the issue of disavowing or not disavowing, whether he ever makes a case to white supremacist sympathizers, the that's one level, the other level i'm interested in happening is what's happening with the protesters because we are seeing an e

but he is not george wallace.here are elements of the george wallace campaign and in this campaign, whether he intends that to be the case or not, that is the case. but not in my lifetime, if we had a candidate, one who is a businessman, not a career politician, who has made this kind of impact, this big an impact, this early in the campaign. now we see where all of this leads. and i'm excited about it. it's true, i have a prethousand calorie attack every three hours thinking about it. but tomorrow could be a decisive time. because as you and others have pointed out, if trump wins both florida and ohio, i think he's a republican nominee. if he doesn't win both, whatever happens in the other states, missouri, illinois, north carolina, then if he doesn't win both those big states tomorrow, then the race is going to go on for quite a buy, murky. i think trump is already assured of going to the convention with the most delegates. but his struggle, his determination, his night now is to go to the convention with at lea

george wallace in 1968 ran in a segregationist campaign for president n. that campaign in 1968, he won five states in the deep south. three of them mentioned, donald trump has already won in the republican primary this year and one more of which he's expected to win tomorrow. at the time that george wallace was running this extremist overtly racist campaign in 19 skating, a lot of people at the time wondered if that campaign would start basically the american rise of european-style fascist politics. and by that i mean not just the ideal logical content of what these political leaders were offering, selling people on, it was also the style by which they were conducting themselves as political figures and violence is a key part of it. violence is seen as instrumental in those kind of movements. fascist leaders like mussolini and in the u.k., one of the hallmarks of their political appeal, the ways they exerted tear political effort is they had a paramilitary cad ray of thugs who accompanied them on thrill i their political realms, who would attack people at
