Buchanan won primaries or caucuses in four states: New Hampshire, Missouri, Louisiana and Alaska. Buchanan again sought the Republican nomination in 1996 while voicing his opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Buchanan won an upset victory in the New Hampshire primary in February, defeating Senator Bob Dole by about 3,000 votes. At a rally in Nashua, he said, "We shocked them in Alaska. Stunned them in Louisiana. Stunned them in Iowa. They are in a terminal panic. They hear the shouts of the peasants from over the hill. All the knights and barons will be riding into the castle pulling up the drawbridge in a minute. All the peasants are coming with pitchforks. We're going to take this over the top."[20] While campaigning, Buchanan energized his supporters with the slogan "The peasants are coming with pitchforks", occasionally appearing with a prop pitchfork, thus earning him the nickname "Pitchfork Pat".
Pat was later denied the ability to speak at the Republican Convention in San Diego.

No one in my lifetime has drawn the line between the plutocrats and true conservatives more sharply or pungently than PJB.

Gee, I wonder why.
Btw, I didn't bother to watch the coronation of the hapless Viagra huckster '96.
