"The images of disorder on campuses and in the streets helped break the New Deal coalition apart and drive conservative and centrist voters away from the Democratic Party;" True. The one thing that is very, very different now than in 1968....April 4 the racial cultists murdered Martin Luther King Jr, On June 8 an anti Jewish misfit murdered Bobby Kennedy the hope of we of Liberal Progressive persuasion leaving us with Humpty Dumpty. Hubert Humphrey was not a bad man, he might possibly have been a decent President - he was just colorless compared to Robert Kennedy. Funny that his son that cuckoobird RFK Jr should be running against the Democratic Party of which his father had been such a champion. Trump is even more of a loser than Nixon was. I voted for Humphrey of course, but I campaigned and worked for Bobby.

I'm hoping those differences will nullify the effects of 1968 - and we have the very best man for Presidency this time.
