Speaking in very poor words, the Republicans fail to put together that vast majority of moderates and conservatives generally disgruntled by the democratic administration (which Nixon succeeded in OTL), although more out of hostility towards Johnson than towards the Democrats, with the moderates who had voted for Rockefeller and the conservatives who had at least partly chosen Wallace, and this division delivered the White House to Humphrey. Speaking of statistics, Rockfeller is able to go very well among the rich and better than usual among blacks and Italians, but loses a lot of ground in the rest of the population, especially among low-income workers, rural inhabitants and members of the trade unions, who had mostly chosen Humphrey but still had high percentages of Wallace voters (in OTL Nixon also won in the middle class and among the inhabitants of the rural areas, as well as conquering one of the union members out of three. the beginning of the end of the political and therefore economic influence of the unions, since the workers affiliated to them began to disobey the endorsement of their own organization-the unions supported almost all of Humphrey-, causing slow erosion and disintegration). The Republicans are defeated and crippled heavily in the South, where the Southern Strategy seems dead even before it was born and where instead Wallace seemed to do the good and the bad weather, but still put better than four years earlier and with their positions in New England strengthened. The Democrats confirm the strength of synergy with the trade unions and the minorities, the peace and civil rights party returned with no jolts, and they reconquer the youth, while geographically they lost their old southern stronghold to focus on the Great Lakes and their workers' metropolis with high black presence and on the West Coast with its rebel universities. So basically this ends up with the maintenance of the Republican Party as a liberal-conservative party of the center-north and the middle-high social band, with the Democratic Party to make the liberal party of the center-north and the middle-low social band and the American Independent Party to do the conservative-regionalist party of the South and the low-rural belt.
