Bill Clinton NEVER won the majority polled. So, he pulled a Perot to win the election. Even with Dole, he didn’t get over 50%.
Nope, IIRC low 40% first time and almost mid 40% second time.
BTW, though I liked a lot of what I heard from Perot better than Dole (until the very end when Dole finally, weakly went on the attack), there was something fishy about Perot. I knew a LOT of really good people who voted for him and stuck us with the Scumbag.
Later a group of doctors filed a FOIA to get the list of people Hillary was secretly working with on her Socialist Health Care scam. The Washington Times ran a large ad by these doctors with that list. Perot's name wasn't on it, but his COMPANY was.
So IMO it wasn't patriotism, it wasn't a desire to be president... IT WAS THE MONEY, HONEY! I think we'll be seeing a rerun unless we can derail it.
