I'm going to say no for a reason already posted above. Wallace's first priority was Wallace, just as Trump's first priority is Trump.
What's scary to contemplate is how well Wallace might have done if he were in Trump's position today. Like Trump, Wallace appealed to both the racist element and to non-racist working-class people who felt they were getting a raw deal from the system. But Wallace was a lot more charismatic than Trump (whatever his faults, and they were many, he was a spellbinding speaker) and IMO much more intelligent and ruthless. With Breitbart, Hannity, Coulter, etc. in his corner...Wallace could have gone a long way.
