If it furthered his political power, yes.

Wallace was an opportunist AND a racist.
What makes him so vile is that he WASN'T a racist, he just pretended to be (and in doing so, legitimized segregation's last stand) in order to gain power for himself. He'd be on board with the likely winner (Hillary) judging by his characteristics, but were he alive today and Trump managed to win, I could see him really quickly jumping ship to the GOP if it served his interests.

What makes him so vile is that he WASN'T a racist, he just pretended to be ..... in order to gain power for himself .......

Hmmm.
Sounds familiar with a current "vile" candidate .... you know the one with orange-hair.

Not true considering Trump isn't actively and openly appealing to people's racism but rather allowing them to project it onto him.

Which is actually worse...
Does that make Obama a communist because he didn't stop the CPUSA from endorsing him and netting him 500 extra votes that he wouldn't get anyway? Has Sam Webb been sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom lately?

Endorsing Hillary would do him no favors in Alabama.
I don't think it's stopping Artur Davis in his latest attempt to be relevant.
