“And whom did WaPo endorse in 1992?”
Unh, Ross Perot?
Nope, wasn’t him. But more than anybody, Perot got Slick elected on a plurality.
EVERY vote that Perot got, was taken directly from George H.W. Bush.
41 really should have invited Ross Perot to that family gathering years earlier. Perot was still a little torqued up because he believed the Reagan Administration, and Bush in particular, had been concealing the presence of American soldiers still being held in Vietnam years after the conflict there had ended.
Perot would get a notion in his head, it was a little hard to talk him down from it.
A re-write of history - what if Perot had NOT been in the 1992 race? Bill Clinton would have been an asterisk in history.
NOPE ... see your tagline.
(To try and fail, that is glorious. To never try at all, that is ignominy, far worse than failure.)
