    @tanehisicoates I think people forget how big Jackson was in 1984 and 1988, especially when he did well in primaries in very white states.

        @HeerJeet @tanehisicoates Jesse Jackson won the Michigan Democratic primary in 1988, only 16 years after it was won by George Wallace.

        @HeerJeet @tanehisicoates My dad voted for him in '88 in central Nebraska, people there attracted to JJ's economic populism.

        @wernherzbear Really interesting. Don't think my dad did, even though he was economic populist. Any idea what he thinks of him now?

        @HeerJeet @tanehisicoates From a lillywhite suburb I voted for Jackson in the primary in my first ever vote '88. Loved his message then.

        @HeerJeet @tanehisicoates Jackson was also the last Democrat to run as a bona fide liberal in the FDR mold.

        @HeerJeet @tanehisicoates Well he lost Wisconsin in 1988 , which was pivotal. Close loss in CO. He led in delegates after MI.
