Just curious because I think it was obvious that Dorothy and Sophia were Democrats, Rose might have been one as well, but I’m not sure about Blanche, given that she had a “Mammy” who liked to hit the sheets with her bigot father. And I believe that she was also in support of the Confederate flag in The Golden Palace, which didn’t sit well with one of the black characters (Roland).

My guess is that Blanche was a republican.

She was also homophobic.

She was also homophobic.
And I believe she said that she wanted a Donald Trump-like man once. That obviously did not age well.

Yeah, at Sophia's wedding to Max, Rose asked Blanche if she'd ever marry again and she said he would have to have "the financial resources of a Mr. Donald Trump."

My guess is that Blanche was a republican.Def a REP,no question!

Do we know what she is in real life Wawwie?

She was from the deep south with a Dixiecrat as a father. She told stories of racial stereotypes, etc. She even wanted to be in the daughters of the confederacy :eek:

Well, to be fair, she only said she wanted a man "as rich as Mr. Donald Trump". She didn't imply she liked him as a human being.

But to answer the question, people typically embrace the politics of their parents, and she said, "Big Daddy was a Republican". So I would assume she was one also.

Very sad, and this is the same woman who raved about sex with black men. :rolleyes:

I don’t mind Blanche all that much, but it’s depressing to see a misguided person, rather in real life or on TV.

In real life, Rue herself was ahead of her time when it came to civil rights. She once refused to stay in a hotel she was booked at while on tour, because the hotel would not allow a black cast member to stay there. Good on ya' Rue! :cool:

A republican. No doubt about it.

Yep, my vote is also that she was Republican, which is fine. Although I'm an independent conservative, I prefer the repubs to the demoncrats.

It is hard to say since there were conservative Democrats in the South until relatively recently.

Def a Rep!

Why is that?

She would almost certainly have been a Democrat. The Georgia congressional delegation in the years after she was of voting age (1950s and 60s) was overwhelmingly Democrat, as was Miami in the era when she would have moved there. An occasional presidential vote for Ike or Reagan, but a "D" for all of the lower offices.
