Don’t blame Ross Perot for the fecklessness and bad faith of the Republican party.
I never voted for Perot and didn’t like his views on some things that matter a lot to me — but notwithstanding, he was a great American who shook up some things that badly needed shaking up.
RIP.
Here Here and spot on.
One of the biggest myths I hear tunnel vision Republicans repat is the Clinton won because of Perrot. The exit polls easily disprove this. The hard fact is that Buch tried to run as the second coming of Ronald Reagan but his policies were closer to Jerry Ford.
That’s why conservatives stayed home. Would he have governed better than Clinton? I can’t say that for certain.
But back to Perot, he filled a void. Conservatives have always held their nose when voting for quasi-socialist moderates. I could not care less if one has to hold their nose, at the end of the day you voted for a non conservative. I did that in 04, 08 & 12. Never again. Vote you conscience and screw the political tools who pull the R lever no matter who the GOPe put on the ballot.
