Who did H Ross Perot appeal to?
I haven’t done the research to really comment on Ross Perot, but Perot apparently only got in the ‘92 race after he had done his homework on the Vietnam War, and had gone to see Pres Bush 41 about it, and was rebuffed. Perot apparently became incensed at Bush’s dastardly involvement with Nam. This is probably hy his running mate was that former Nam POW who got it worse than McCain. (
I read it first on Roger Stone’s site — linked above. This is probably why Stone brags that “Barbara Bush hates his guts” but I am sketchy on the details other than a vague recollection during the 92 campaign when Perot was saying that Bush people were bothering his daughter at her wedding.
Someone should write about book about Perot. I remember he was also good friends with and on Apple’s board of directors or something akin.
People who ignored what he actually said and assumed he would do x, y, z.
The conservatives to whom Ross Perot did not appeal were those who thought GHWB might be elected - and that Perot would not. They were wrong about the former, right about the latter.
Me...I proudly voted for Perot twice...Sure, he had some negatives but they were far better than the negatives of daddy Bush and Clinton...
And yes, I support Trump...Like Trump, Perot was 'America First'...
That didn't resonate with everyone because at that time it was just a vision of what was coming down the pike...Thru the primaries after that there were some America First contenders, ie., Tancredo, Buchanan, a couple others...
But now, it's here...We are seeing and experiencing what Perot was talking about...Trump will be our last warning...
