Myth?

It’s not a myth that Bush lost.

And anyone who claims Perot had nothing to do with it is politically naive.

I'm still happy with my Perot vote, he was clearly the best choice.

Of course it’s not a myth that Bush lost. That’s history.

Whether Perot caused that loss is highly debatable. Bush was a terrible, unattractive deep-state candidate with a history of lying, Slick Willy was an oversexed slimeball, but he was a master of the political game. The country was looking for a change.

The 1992 Perot circus bumped up the popular vote by 12 million, many of whom would never have voted otherwise. The vote in 1996 dropped by 8 million.

Bush and Clinton were two sides of the same counterfeit coin.

But if it makes you feel better to put all the blame on Perot, go for it.
