Because Wallace was a Democrat, like Trump was his whole life until 15 minutes before he ran for president?

Trumpit said...

Trump is more like...the devil. You thought I was going to say the obvious "Hitler."

MadisonMan said...

I thought W was Hitler. Or was it Romney?

Hard to keep track.

"This time we're serious!!!! It's TRUMP who is Hitler"

Dave D said...

MadisonMan: What amazes me is how quickly someone can alternate from nice guy to Hitler to the left. And back again! See Romney, McCain, etc......

Michael K said...

There is a point there. Wallace had surprising response from blue collar Democrats as he attacked bureaucrats. He said those brief cases they carried continued nothing but their lunch, a peanut butter sandwich.

tcrosse said...

Trump is more like George Burns than George Costanza.

Trumpit said...

[I thought W was Hitler. Or was it Romney?

"This time we're serious!!!! It's TRUMP who is Hitler"]

There are many "Hitlers," and many serial killers are there not?. Do you believe in the death penalty for mass murderers or are you a liberal Democrat?

Gahrie said...

He's more like George Washington...they both got elected president.

Henry said...

Why a George comparison? Think of all the other Georges Biden could have used.

I would have gone with "more like George III than George Washington".

Biden's civil rhetoric:
They're going to put you all back in chains with their economic and regulatory policies.

That was when the Republican Party's candidate was Mitt Romney.

The Crack Emcee said...

It's the hair thing: Wallace was always coiffed, too.

BTW - #StudyingWhileBlack is now a thing. Please make a note of it, and then contact whatever white person does these Wallace/Washington comparisons, and ask them what time it is, because it's getting too late for this stuff.

Trump is more like Retired United States Army general Stanley A. McChrystal because they sleep four hours (at least!) and don't have Mrs. McChrystal's Robot E. Lee portrait.

Biden is more like Joe Biden than Bazooka Joe.

Big Mike said...

Who cares what a pervert has to say about anything? Does the YouTube search for “creepy Joe Biden” still return thousands of hits? The guy liked to wave his schlong at female Sectet Service agents because there was nothing they could do about it.

But that’s Democrats for you. One set of rules for everyone else, but when it comes to their own activities words like “law abiding” and even “decency” are purely optional. Trumpit is s case in point.

AllenS said...

Biden is just like George Wallace. Neither was able to be elected president.

This is fun!

Rob said...

Improbably, George Wallace became beloved by many African-Americans in Alabama later in his life. Maybe Biden was subconsciously reflecting on how Trump has garnered support from Kanye West and some other African-Americans.

Meade said...

Trump is more like George of the Jungle than Georgia O'Keefe.

Meade said...

Trump is more like Curious George than the state of Georgia.

Fernandinande said...

Trump is more like Elizabeth Warren because they're both not Indians.

Meade said...

Trump is like Gorgeous George.

tcrosse said...

George Wallace apologized.

Meade said...

"George Wallace apologized."

George Wallace is like Megyn Kelly.

Quaestor said...

Joe Biden is more like Jefferson Davis than George Washington because he rents slaves rather than own them.

Curious George said...

"Meade said...
Trump is more like Curious George than the state of Georgia."

Yep.

mockturtle said...

George Wallace was not really a racist but was politically ambitious and the only way to campaign as a Democrat in Alabama at the time was to talk like one. The Party demanded it. Later, as Wallace became a Christian, he went to black churches in his wheelchair to apologize and ask forgiveness.

Wince said...

George Wallace "in his last race for governor he won with 60 percent of the vote and well over 90 percent of the black vote."

That's what the Democrats really fear.

Lloyd W. Robertson said...

Biden knows Trump is good at hitting on some sore points for Democrats. Many Americans think a kind of "splendid isolation" might be better for the U.S. than a vague and open-ended internationalism and globalism, including engaging in wars in several places at once. Hence the Trump-Washington comparison. Dems want to suggest only ugly bigoted people would go down that road today; hence the Trump-Wallace comparison. (See http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/08/trump-and-the-george-wallace-tradition-of-foreign-policy.html)
Scott Adams: the use of analogy isn't thinking, it just feels like thinking. Thanks especially to Meade for ringing some changes.

mccullough said...

Most people barely know who George Washington is. They don’t know who George Wallace is.

Or Joe Biden. Vice Presidents are backup quarterbacks.

1% Joe.

There was at least one Black Panther who followed the Christian road to salvation on Earth and Heaven. Sin, repent, and strive.

Hitler operated ovens. However, in sheer numbers, Mao, first, and Stalin, second, were leaders in their field. Today, we still operate ovens under a layer of privacy, and with a competitive number of premeditated and collateral damage. And for the same cause of social progress.

n.n said...

Then there were the Mandela factions that hung necklaces with care on their competing interests. The Hutu-Tutsi cycles of redistributive and retributive change. Turks and Armenians. Aztecs and indians. Muslims and almost everyone else... we didn't start the fire.

Bay Area Guy said...

George Washington was a bona fide hero - father of our country, but sadly did own slaves.

George Wallace was a southern demagogue - who promoted racial segregation, but helped split the Democrat vote in ‘68 to give us President Nixon.

Donald Trump is a NYC huckster businessman - who became an unlikely President and is doing a good job, despite hostilities from the Dems, the establishment GOP, the media, Hollywood, the universities, the United Nations, and most of Europe, except Hungary and Poland.

Any questions?

Yes, and this is how Trump is like George Wallace: he pretends to political convictions he does not have, simply to pander to those who will vote for him simply for his pretend positions.

Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreaming; of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can't always run away
Don't be so scared of changing and rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
Wake up, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Come on, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl

Biden won't make it out of the primaries. Although he is the least worst of the dem mob running in 2020.

Matt Sablan said...

Doesn't Trump support vouchers? Doesn't sound like the sort of guy who would stand in the school house door.

Matt Sablan said...

"MadisonMan: What amazes me is how quickly someone can alternate from nice guy to Hitler to the left. And back again!"

Just wait in 8-12 years when they use the picture of Trump waving the rainbow flag and say something like: "Remember when Republicans weren't Nazis?"

langford peel said...

Biden says that like its a bad thing.

langford peel said...

America would have been a lot better off if George Wallace would have won that election instead of Nixon.

He was a populist who had an American First agenda.

That's why the powers that be had him shot.

President Trump should watch his ass because they want to do the same thing to him.

langford peel said...

The establishment feared the Governor because he reached out to the white working class and they were very receptive to his message. He said many things then that are just as true today.

"There's not a dimes difference between them."

"Spending money on Vietnam and foreign aid was pouring money down a rathole."

One of his best quotes:
"What are the Real issues that exist today in these United States? It is the trend of the pseudo-intellectual government, where a select, elite group have written guidelines in bureaus and court decisions, have spoken from some pulpits, some college campuses, some newspaper offices, looking down their noses at the average man on the street."

President Trump could easily say the same thing and it would be just as true now as it was in 1968.

Yeah no Democrat like Obama or Hillary would ever do this. *cough*gay marriage */cough* *cough* illegal immigration */cough*

BUMBLE BEE said...

If Google has scrubbed the pictures of Biden dry humping pubescent girls, then he's gonna run.

Michael K said...

Cookie is having nostalgia for Obama and his pants crease.

Michael K said...

I downloaded that Wallace bio to my Kindle and will read it. It sounds interesting.

Bilwick said...

Well, the coughing part sure sounds like Hillary.

Kevin said...

What "news" organization is reporting this drivel?

Oh right, CNN...

Kevin said...

"Because he doesn't own slaves?"

No, because he worries about black unemployment.

Washington never worried about that.

bonkti said...

Joe Biden is more like Joe E. Brown than Tony Curtis.

PM said...

Knew Joe was old, but George Washington?


bagoh20 said...

No Republican ever owned slaves, ever. That was always a purely Democrat thing. They always loved the idea of the fruit of other people's labor going to them. They still push for it today as strong as ever. I don't understand how any Black person could vote Democrat. It's like Jews voting for Nazi's, except the ugly history of Democrats is a lot longer.
