DBWI: A Modern Democratic Party?

Oh, the South continued to have its fair share of lynchings until Martin Luther King, Sr. started his civil rights campaign. King's eldest son was tragically killed by the Ku Klux Klan in the early 40's, remember? That's what started the Civil Rights Movement in the first place.

OOC: MLK Sr. was a Republican, iirc

IC: If I recall correctly, MLK Sr. was a Republican through and through. He's a hero for averting Civil War: Round Two.

OOC: Indeed he was a lifelong Republican. He endorsed Nixon, but supported Kennedy after Robert Kennedy telephoned the judge and helped secure King Jr.'s release from prison.

IC: MLK Sr. is a shining example of what the Republicans have brought to our nation. The Republican Party and the Old Liberal Party were monumental to the Civil Rights Act of 1944. They got us the first black president in 1992! Just imagine if that was delayed by twenty or more years.

OOC: Ah yes, Martina Barrow, the California Congresswoman. A great and wonderful lady she was; possibly the best two-term president the Liberals ever gave us(Of course, Alfred Gomez, the Washington Republican who came before, was pretty good in his own right.). :D

Gomez should have gotten a second term. He was just unlucky enough to be running against her. I heard he's planning on running again in 2016. I'd vote for him. It's a shame the Republicans have been putting up far left extremists lately. He was the kind of cross between the two parties I miss.
 
In any case, do you suppose a Democratic Party surviving Reconstruction could have survived the emergence of the Populists? Would they merge or would the Democrats fall again, twenty years later than in OTL?
