That was my first election. I vote for Perot. I had read his book and really believed what he was saying. I still think he was right and, to this day, I think America would be a better country if he had won.

My story is similar. When I saw what actually happened, and the effect of a split vote, I’ll never do it again.

If someone has a direct line to Trump, please tell him not to run. It will guarantee another 4 years under the Usurper in chief.

And if anyone has a direct line to Sarah Palin.... :D

Judging by your tagline, you have yet to learn from your mistake. At the time you made it, you were presumably young and inexperienced, only 18. You had an excuse. This time ... you have zero excuse. You need to learn from your mistakes AND APPLY WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED.

Sounds to me, judging by your tagline, that you're headed toward making the same mistake again.

I'll confess I voted for Perot also. Bush didn't seem to want the job and who knew what a scumbag Clinton would be.

That being said I would never vote for Trump. He's only in it for himself.

if he had won.

Perot and his ego gave us 8 years of Bill Clinton.

Perot had the potential to go into any business situation and turn it around. If the United States could have been run like a dictatorship at that time (unlike now) he would have been able to do something. Congress would have shut him down on both sides of the aisle and the Supreme Court would have done the same. Perot loved to go after Bush, but avoided making any negative comment about Clinton. After he announced that Bush had hit squads out to get him and his family, it wall all over except for helping Clinton win. People like you helped him push Clinton over the top.

Agreed. I work in the same building with Mr. Perot and I must say, I have never met a more patriotic person. Just in the short time I've been here, I've witnessed his 80th birthday celebration which included video greetings from around the globe from military unit after unit; a celebration for the birthday of the Marine Corps; and on the walls of this building is basically a museum including items from the 92 and 96 campaigns (yes ... even the charts) to items given to him from military personnel (including Bin Laden's walking cane that our troops found after narrowly missing Bin Laden) to memorabilia from his tour of duty in the Navy to a certificate from Pope Benedict honoring the Perots' 50th wedding anniversary ... and flags and military banners throughout the cafeteria.

Reading some of these charts from his campaigns, I gotta say ... he was right. His numbers showing where our economy was going are not far off from where we are today.

It was the first election that I voted in as well, and I also voted for Perot. I didn’t vote again until 2004.
