the second one is wendell wilkie. guest: wilkie i understand right away. he was in some ways and even more improbable figure perhaps then donald trump. york utilitiesew executive who for campaign purposes was rebranded as an indiana farm boy who came out of , where however it must be said a major assist from the all aroundnt media one issue. a sense of urgency, of abnormality about that year as perhaps there is about this. of course the issue was the world war. the so-called phony war had ended and hitler had successfully invaded france. it was only a question of time, many thought, he for england was next to fall. -- before england was next to fall. you have this once-in-a-lifetime set of circumstances that came into play as this once in a lifetime candidate, former delegate to the democratic national convention who was at 3% in the polls early on. scaleso, on a more modest then donald trump had been introduced to the people by a show called information please. wilkie had a little bit of a following, but the establishment press boomed him. was runnings wh

hollywood the same time that walter right of the naacp in 1940 republican presidential candidate, wendell wilkietheir campaign with hollywood producers to eliminate racist era types of people of color, including negroes, asians and lands for the sake of wartime allies. lena, whose contract partly brokered brokered by her father stipulated no servant or jungle roles and was single-handedly expected to prove to the ally that america, unlike germany and japan, with not a racist country. selena became known as the firse black movies star. she became the first blackte person to appear on the cover of a movie magazine. despite allies of color however, was seen always isolated from the main portion of the movie so they could easily be cut out of the picture when it was shown in the south. in fact, she was cut out of every picture she ever made in hollywood when they were shown in the south. unless the cast was all black, the southern rule stipulated that blackson movies could only be shown as servant types.m's ct the nightclub continue to be hugely important theatrical venues. from harlem's cotton club

i was with the campaign cowboys on tuesday telling me about 1940, wendell wilkie, i don't think he had any delegates when the convention started. on the sixth ballot he won the nomination. he lost to fdr but things happen. that hasn't happened in half a century. the other part of the argument is could conceivably be the balance of power between ted cruz and donald trump. whether he wantss to be a running mate or the party platform, if he were the difference he would have a lot of flak. john: donald trump is saying if he doesn't get the nomination there are going to be riots, obviously republican leadership has to be careful how they handle this from here on. >> i don't take that at his word. he said a lot of people would be upset and that is putting it mildly. forget the idea of actual riots in the street. a lot of people supported donald trump. he will going with more delegates than anybody else even if he is short of 1237. he is numb 200 short. if there is a perception the nomination was taken from him, forget the delegates, a lot of voters who supported donald trump, went out in pri
