Trump a modern George Wallace? "It's just a replay," Charlie Snider, one of Wallace's most trusted

political aides, told NPR. "We're looking at a modern-day George Wallace." Snider is a Trump supporter. Wallace's daughter, a Democrat, hears it, too, but in a different way.

"Trump and my father say out loud what people are thinking but don't have the courage to say," Peggy Wallace Kennedy told NPR. Wallace Kennedy was 18 when she was on the campaign trail with her father in 1968. She believes Trump is exploiting voters' worst instincts, the way her late father once did. "They both were able to adopt the notion that fear and hate are the two greatest motivators of voters that feel alienated from government," she said.

While their combative styles mirror one another, Trump is no racial segregationist. Wallace drew voters alarmed at eroding white privilege. Trump draws voters worried about the erosion of blue-collar jobs and competition from immigrant labor.

"There are a lot of people who essentially want the world to stop and want it to stop changing," Carter said. "And when that happens, you look for a strong individual. And to me that's the big appeal and the big similarity between George Wallace and Donald Trump."

I've heard Trump compared to Pat Buchanan too in terms of being a right-wing populist.
