But I read the only person who polled as well as George Wallace among working class whites was Bobby Kennedy... He was really a different kind of liberal, a tough minded one, and maybe he could have led them in a different direction... But we all see things through the prism of our own experience or our own hopes and dreams and maybe the politics of that day and our day is what it is and many working class whites will gravitate toward the most conservative candidate... As a historian you know that the pitting of working class whites against African Americans destroyed the populist movement in the late eighteenth century....
