I'm not defending HW Bush, I just remember that Perot hurt him big time during the campaign.

I'm also pretty sure it was a personal matter that started over POW/MIA policy, and went much deeper coming from Perot's own nuttiness rather than the no new taxes pledge.

Clinton promised during the campaign to raise taxes and Perot rarely mentioned that.

Yes, we must be careful to only elect presidents with good hair.

As the southern lady noted, it may not be de hair, but perhaps it be de flip flops, or........de agony of de feet........

*Groans* I know, I know.....it's Monday......

Bush's approval ratings were in the tank well before most Americans had even heard of Perot.

The key is Bush lost the enthusiasm race, when he went back on his “no new taxes” pledge. The votes Bush got, were from people who voted AGAINST Clinton, and not FOR Bush.

Hey, I can play that game! Sarah Palin, the New Margaret Thatcher? Mike Huckabee, the New Elmer Gantry? Lindsey Graham, the New Vidkun Quisling?

Perot was running against George Bush Sr. and his challenger, Bill Clinton.

Trump is running against incumbent Barack Obama and his challenger, ????.

There are a lot of very, very, disenchanted middle of the road voters who already gave ‘hope’ a chance.

All we are saying...is give hope a chance. That was Obama’s song to independants in 2008.

What’s his song now? “Born in the USA ... I’m a cool rockin daddy in the USA!”

LOL...I could see in my post I was getting perilously close to mimicking the famous quote “How did Nixon win, I don’t know anyone who voted for him!”

Yes, that also is true: Perot attacked Bush far more than he did Clinton.
