Nader did not get 19% of the popular vote like Perot did in ‘92. He may have cost Gore FL. I will grant that much, but come on. Studies done after the election showed that absent Perot, his 19% would have broken towards GWB at a 2 to 1 ratio. Perot is responsible for Breyer and Ginsburg being on the SCOTUS today.

I'm sure you meant GHWB, or George Herbert Walker Bush. If the 2 to 1 ratio you mention is true, that would have given GHWB a tad over 50% of the popular vote and a plurality of less than a percentage point over Clinton in the popular vote. The hypothetical result would have hinged on the state-by state breakdown.

Perot is responsible for Breyer and Ginsburg being on the SCOTUS today.

If, for the sake of argument, your theory about the '92 election is totally correct (I neither agree nor disagree), then you are right about the SCOTUS. You would also be correct to say that Perot is responsible for a lot of other ugly things we saw unfolding during Bubba's time in the WH. That list is too long to go through here.

He may have cost Gore FL.

And, thus, the election.
