Damned personal insult, but understandable from those readily duped.
1. Perot and Trump are both hugely wealthy - more power to ‘em.
2. Both are very hypocritical to tout a conservative banner, deriding big bad government, when in fact, they made many Millions because of the gov’t deals they made.
Perot made much of his fortune with his company, EDS, which made Millions via Gov’t welfare data processing.
Trump repeatedly benefited from Kelo decision like eminent domain deals that screwed private property owners out of their land.
3. Both had convenient close ties to democrats well before they ran as conservatives.
Trump’s donation history shows Democratic favoritism - https://www.washingtonpost.com/ politics/ tr... Proxy
Apr 26, 2011 ... Billionaire Donald J. Trump has a highly unusual history of political contributions for a prospective Republican candidate: He has given most of
“But Trumpâs donation gap was even larger during the mid-2000s, which saw the end of Republican congressional majorities and the ascendance of the Democratic party.
Overall in the 2006 election cycle, Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., donated $77,200 to Democrats versus only $24,250 on Republicans. Looking back to the 2004 cycle, the pair donated $40,500 to Democrats and only $17,250 to the GOP.
While the Trumps spent nearly $50,000 to elect congressional Democrats, they donated only $1,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRSC).
But perhaps the worst outcome that election for Republicans was that Pelosi and Reid became Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader, respectively. The pair made a formidable team and did heavy lifting to ensure that Obama was elected in 2008 and that much of his agenda â including Obamacare â was put in place.
4. Both are bombastic with low detail sound byte hype.
5. Neither had held elected public and have not demonstrated sound civil service CONSERVATIVE governance.
6. Both Ross Perot and Donald Trump are third party spoilers:
“He has made highly publicized forays into national politics on occasion over the past two decades. Late in 1999, as the presidency of Bill Clinton wound down, Trump was one of several contenders for the nomination of the Reform Party, the remnant of the third-party movement begun by billionaire H. Ross Perot in 1992.”

You did read that, right?
Donald Trump has just said that he has not ruled out a third party run, after he swore he wouldn’t on Sept 3rd.
Flaky and untrustworthy, just like Perot...
The Don, is a Spoiler, plain and simple.
People here and nation wide are being fooled with his controlled opposition candidacy charade.
I also want to believe what he says.
However, his bothersome history betrays his populist words.
Useful idiots will eventually be forced to see what they do not want to see...
RE: “Nothing, NOTHING whatsoever like that idiot Perot!
You need to read some factual history; didums.”
Unlike Perot, Trump is a builder/T.V . show host, who WAS NOT making his money from GOVERNMENT PAID jobs, as Perot was.
Neither was Trump involved in the Kelo deal and you don't really understand eminent domain! Trump IS correct; people make money when the government buys their home/property! And I know this, from family experience.
Unlike Perot, who was "that crazy uncle in the attic", Trump has plans, which he has laid out in written papers! He doesn't go around talking about what's "under the hood", as crazy Perot did !
Perot was a "spoiler" because he hated the Bush family. He was also delusional and talked about "black helicopters" and his daughter's wedding. SHOW ME WHERE TRUMP HAS SAID/DONE SUCH THINGS !
Trump is winning, has been leading for months,nobody is even close to him, so this whole "third party" tripe is just that... TRIPE! And Trump IS, unlike Crazy Perot, running in the GOP presidential primaries, NOT as an "Indi"/third party whatever, as Perot did!
Trump is a true blue patriot and yes, Conservative on most things, which you can NOT say about the vast majority of opponents!
Just admit that you hate Trump, are for someone else, and slink away.
You need to stop reading the daily caller. Trump did what he had to do to build the yuge businesses he managed and grew within the law and in the America that clinton, bush and obamba built. Did you expect that he would fail rather then adapt to the current environment? I think you are looking for a candidate who would put the donations of the CoC and the CFG over what is best for America. You certainly have a lot of candidates that have demonstrated they will sell out America for a few campaign dollars to choose from. But if you want a successful American, a civilian leader as the founders envisioned, a man who knows what it is to be and how to make the best of being an American, Trump is your guy. The rest are all typical politicians that talk a good game, but once in office they do exactly what the donor class dictates. We’ve had 25 years of that, do you really want more of it? Or would you like to see someone who actually loves and wants to “Make America Great Again”? The choice is simple, ether choose the candidate that has shown he can be bought, or choose the non-politician that will act in the best interest of America.
