It is an article of faith that Perot cost Bush his re-election. I don’t think the survey data at the time supported that idea. Bush ran a very anemic campaign, almost as if he didn’t want to win. He lost in part due to his reneging on his “no new taxes” pledge; a mild brief recession which the democrats portrayed as the “worst economy since the Great Depression,” which was not true but the idiot masses bought it; and a de-emphasis on foreign policy after the end of the Cold War and the botched end of Desert Storm. Bush got 37% of the vote Clinton got 43%, so Perot took votes from both sides.
You probably would have had Clinton 4 years later anyway or maybe someone even worse
Perot was right on the debt and trade. Nothing has been fixed on those areas. He was right, and will always be correct. It was the gop and dems that sold out.
Bush failed because of himself. Perot killed him because he was right. The gop will never change. The spending will never stop, the debt will increase, etc. Only a fool will continue to support parties.
When is the GOP going to be reformed? When are RINOs going to be challenged by conservatives? All the RINOs I see being challenged are being challenged by other RINOs.
There was little difference between the Bushes and the Clintons.
GHW Bush plotted the illegal alien inundation that is today threatening the very existence of the USA.
It was continued by his adopted son, Slick Willy and his son W and the Kenyanesian Usurper, which the Bushes did nothing to stop.
It’s been THIRTY YEARS! Give it a rest already.
Perot was a flawed candidate, and he might have opened the door for Clinton. He definitely showed that the “political marketplace” was not meeting a demand from the voters. All it took was another 20+ years. Perot showed that the game was rigged by the uniparty.
Oh please.
Ralphing into the lap of a Japanese Diplomat is nothing to be celebrated.
The CIA threatened Perot’s family and he dropped out of the race.
Ross Perot's secretary was apparently a was comely and appealing and worked upstairs just outside of Ross Perot's office. My instructor enjoyed taking the daily switch printouts upstairs for Ross Perot to review and stopping to chat with the secretary. One day they were talking and the Switch technician/instructor nervously reached over and flipped a light switch a few of times.
All of a sudden Ross Perot ran out of his office shouting "we're having a brown out, we're having a brown out" as only Ross Perot could shout it. My technician/instructor incredulously looked at the secretary and she just said "that is the light switch for his office, you better get down to the switch." My technician/instructor friend hauled himself down the stairs and beat Ross Perot down to the switch room, to tell him that the apparent power hit hadn't been detected on the switch alarms.
All of our corporate and vender classes were in Plano and Richardson, Texas, so I have no reason to doubt the story and it sounds just like Ross Perot going off half cocked about everything he touched.
Had Bush Sr. been a Conservative and governed like one, Bubba the Rapist would never have left Arkansas. He handed him the Presidency on a silver platter, even with Pee Rot in the race.
I voted for Perot back in 1992. My brother did as well.
I regretted my vote very quickly after that. My vote essentially went for Clinton. Nobody in State Politics ever killed as many people as that Crew did. I have been unable to live it down ever since.
I see the truth of ‘Elections have consequences.’
I have made lots of bad votes over time, but none such as that 1992 horror.
Perot was leading after the first 2 debates but he didn't want the job, and became correctly convinced that throwing the election would give it to Clinton.
Perot initially wanted to trust GHWB, but after Christic's Sheehan, who was probably half a spook too, convinced him Poppy was the leader of spook ops in Central America and elsewhere, Perot took his complaint to Judge Webster at the FBLie, and of course the Judge buried it on the lawn with "x" marks the spot for the "Ninjas" lofl.
So the 3rd Debate was Perot's "Ninjas on my lawn" craziness amped up to 11. And the little rat-faced bastard was absolutely right, by then he had siphoned off Poppy's win margin, as his donkey support left Perot and 'came home' to Bubba.
Perot should have won and been made to eat the daily brick of deep state shit that is the Presidency for anyone who is not a Marxist or senile.
