Chicago 1968 and the Democrats

It happened this week in 1968.  And what happened inside the hall and on the streets had a profound impact in the Democrat Party.  

The 4-day convention saw the police clash with students and distract from the events inside.  It was a political nightmare for VP Humphrey.

Former VP Nixon defeated VP Humphrey that year in a very close election.  The "Wallace" vote, almost 14% of the total popular vote, clearly helped Nixon.
