There wouldn't have been a Perot if Bush had not gone back on his word.

Please explain.

Even though the country was in a recession, property values were decreasing and it seemed like everyone was getting downsized, the reneging on the tax pledge was the big one for me. Nothing else (the deficit, proposed NAFTA and loss of jobs ) Ross Perot said would have resonated with the voters if the taxes had stayed the same.

Also Bush was suffering from a chronic ailment and looked sickly and lethargic in the debates, especially the last one. Voters enjoy voting for a person who appears able to live out the term.
