WASHINGTON -- GOP front-runner Donald Trump has built his campaign on white fear, populism and threats against protesters. It's not surprising he's drawing comparisons to another unlikely presidential candidate: former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, a fervent champion of racial segregation who died in 1998.
Both candidates share "the demagogue’s instinctive ability to tap into the fear and anger that regularly erupts in American politics," Dan Carter, a professor emeritus at the University of South Carolina, wrote in the The New York Times.
With Trump threatening to ban an entire religious group from traveling to the United States and promising to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, his racially charged rhetoric can be difficult to distinguish from Wallace's.
