William Jennings Bryan: In the way he's taking on the party establishment via populism
George Wallace: Nativist rhetoric and appeal to the frustrated white working class
Pat Buchanan: Same as above
Reagan: In his ability to simplify things and shrug off attacks
Ross Perot: Both billionaires who attacked the Washington establishment
Wendell Willkie: In his hometown, unclear partisan affiliation, and previous experience holding elective office (i.e. none)
I think if you mix Perot and Buchanan, you get something pretty close to Trump.
