“””“But 1990 was just 2 years before the Clinton ascendancy.”
Thank you, Ross Perot.”””””””
Good old “sucking sound” Perot allowed Slick to win with 42% of the vote.
It took Perot and Clinton to wake “Republicans” up to the HW Bush reality,
Until Donald Trump threw his hat into the ring the voting for either party is like choosing between diarrhea and constipation. If Perot was enough to split the vote then H.W. was probably lousier than most give him credit for. I was too young for Perot, or Dole; my first three presidential elections were W. Bush, McCain, and Romney. All three were trash.
