Did Wallace have beef with the Clintons? Stunned he didn’t endorse a fellow southern Dem in those years.
I think some of the dislike among Deep South Democrats for Clinton stems from cultural/social grievance.
Basically, he turned his back on his own kind and embraced the Yankee cosmopolitan way of life. (Going to Georgetown/Yale instead of to the University of Arkansas or some other SEC school; not enlisting in the military before or after college like a good Southern boy was supposed to; marrying an uppity Yankee who kept her last name and had a career.)
The lack of military service really bothered a certain generation (that included Wallace) in a way that is hard for Millennials/Gen-Z (most of this forum) to understand.
