You do know Ross Perot ran as a third party candidate, right? That’s “splitting the vote”.
Yes, he split the fiscially conservative vote that invariably votes for republicans.
Bush 1 was a RINO anyway.
And his loss was deserved.
And we got Bill Clinton because of that, but we got Newt Gingrich because of Bill Clinton.
AND NEWT BALANCED THE BUDGET for the only time in about 80 years.
