they have been played.

In 1968, George Wallace carried five Southern states - Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi but you would be hard pressed to find many people that admit they voted for him because racism is not acceptable anymore for most people.

Mark my words - in 10 years it will be hard to find anyone that admits voting for Trump.

Why? Because admitting they voted for him would be admitting he made fools of them. One trait Americans have is not admitting their mistakes....Civil War, Vietnam, Iraq are good examples.
