    I guess a big question is-- did Hubert Humphrey stick to this message in 1968? Was the message outdated by then?

    The other factor of course is that Nixon likely rode a wave of national resentment over the earlier progressivism of the Sixties. At that point the not-really-GOP’ers likely found their winning formula… the same one that they’ve been riding in to the ground, ever since.
