“Who “Perots” the election with 19%?”

The reason that Perot was able to mostly draw from Bush in 1992, and thereby give Bill Clinton the White House, was because Bush treated his base like crap (even worse than his son did)...and so when Perot came, Bush’s voters had a way to send him a message, which they, of course, did.

Unless Trump significantly changes his tune - such as supporting Amnesty, Trump will not have that problem, and Trump’s 47% will give him an Electoral landslide against Kamel or whoever the Dems run.

But, as much as I would love that outcome, the Dems are not dumb enough to run another 3rd party against Trump...for just the reason I stated above.
