People need to admit that Clinton/Gore ran a effective campaign in 1992, and no, Ross Perot did not spoil the 1992 election.
When Bush failed to have a signature issue after the Gulf War, he did not capture the heart of Americans.
Like it or not, Slick Willie was popular with a lot of women.
His wife, Hillary, however, is not popular and still thinks she can mount a 2020 presidential run.
Not with this woman. However, I have heard that BJC is extremely charismatic in person. I think his rallies were effective and GHWB was a country club Republican who was very out of touch. BJC may have been out of touch, too, but he came across to the masses as a down home boy.
You have a poor recollection of 1992. Perot DID spoil that race, and 1996, too. He took most of his votes from those who voted for GHW Bush in 1988. Bubba the Rapist actually performed WORSE than Dukakis did in 1988. Dukakis got almost 46%, Bubba got 43%.
Perot was actually leading in the race (with Bubba in 3rd place) when he withdrew in the Spring, proving his candidacy was a total joke, and that he didn’t want to win, he just wanted to prevent Bush from winning. He accomplished his goal. Sadly, his refusal to get off the ballot in 1996 also kept Dole from winning (had Dole picked up the Perot votes, he’d have narrowly beaten Bubba - who never got 50% of the vote either time he ran).
.... and no, Ross Perot did not spoil the 1992 election.

Utter BS.
Plus, the media had a lot more control in 1992.
I can think of several dim wacko wymmyns that are still gaga over bubba jeff.
Ross Perot was an early promoter of stopping jobs leaving the country, a harbinger of Donald Trump.
Perot received 19.7 million votes.
Bush received 39.1 million votes.
Clinton received 44. 9 million votes.
Without Perot in the race, is is almost certain Bush would have won.
The left tries to say Perot took as many votes from Clinton as Bush.
Hard to know for sure. The media were certainly on Clinton's side.
