Back in 1992, Ross Perot made the debates with Bush and Clinton....he was famous for his line about the “Giant Sucking Sound”, coming from south of the border, referring to American jobs moving to Mexico.

Fast forward to 2016 and he was 100% correct.

Here is the youtube clip of the Perot’s line at the debates.

I actually think he could have won in ‘92 had he not dropped out for bizarre reasons and then dropped back in again.

The fact that he did that forces me to ponder whether he was really a stalking horse for Clinton.

Watch for his will to show up donating much of his holding to the DNC because Bush41 stalked his daughters wedding.
The first weaponized politician used to flip an election.

That whole debacle was my first inkling of the fact the deep state exists.

George HW Bush was the one MOST RESPONSIBLE for Clinton.

He personally cast Richard Crenna to play himself in a movie, which I still find to be hilarious.

As Trump demonstrated in 2016, Perot would have been better off running in the GOP primary than as an independent in the general election.

... except Trump was serious in his promises. Perot was working to get Clinton in. When he started to pull ahead he went full retard. Then showed up again in 1996. What a coincidence.

Talk is cheap and Perot certainly had the gift of gab.

>>you little bastard! Thanks, heaps for Slick Willie!<<

It was those moderate republicans that gave us Slick Willie. We witnessed the greatest transfer of wealth in world history from the American middle class to the communist Chinese government....Globalism.

Just now with Trump on the scene, America is beginning to rebuild the middle class. The Bush family, Clinton crime cabal and Obozo along with their congressional enablers that allowed millions of great paying manufacturing jobs to be SUCKED from this country.

No...it wasn't Perot's fault, he tried to warn us.
