Considering that Wallace remained a Democrat until his death in 1998, I don't think he would ever become a Republican.

If Thurmond "stole his thunder" Wallace still would have had plenty of chances to switch to the GOP in the 1970s and 1980s

According to this article, George Wallace switched over to the Republican Party in the early 1990s (due to dissatisfaction with the growing social liberalism within the Democratic Party) and voted for George H.W. Bush in 1996 and Bob Dole in 1996. I also feel that if George Wallace lived for another 20 years and remained somewhat active in politics, he would have strongly supported Donald Trump and approved of the populist direction that the Republican Party is currently taking.

Fox wouldn’t support Wallace because of his opposition to Supply Side Economics due to Murdoch .



I think that most Fox News executives would forgive George Wallace considering that he would have easily agreed with President Trump on nearly all the other policies that he proposed (with the exception of American Health Care Act).
