Was Huey a Populist?

Huey P Long.s appeal was definitely populist, but he was more than a little corrupt.

Why should one man have three houses when there are hard-working folks who have none? It is still a good question for Americans.

However, it is possible that he could have gotten the democratic nomination in 1932 had he not been assassinated.

Earl Long, his brother, was the better of the two, in my opinion.
