After handing us Clinton, he owed us a hell of a lot more than that

It gets quite tiresome to have Perot blamed for George HW Bush's loss in 1992. First, as a moderate on social issues, Perot attracted nearly as many former Democrats as he did Republicans.

Second and more importantly, those former Republicans who voted for Perot wouldn't have done so if Bush were a halfway decent President. If you really want to blame someone for getting Clinton elected, blame the so-called Republican President who increased immigration quotas, increased taxes, denounced the NRA, and pushed "free trade" with China. The very same agenda as Clinton, in other words.

Perot attracted nearly as many former Democrats as he did Republicans.

He crushed it with non political Independents, basically launching the fraudulent Independence party. He also attracted many moderate Republicans and Democrats who wee more like populists.

It gets quite tiresome to have Perot blamed for George HW Bush's loss in 1992.

Also, many complained that Bush wasn't campaigning. He didn't seem to start until about 2 weeks before the election, when some polls showed him behind.

Asked after the election loss why he didn't campaign until late, he replied that he was the incumbent and thought that was an automatic win.

The race was his to lose, and he did.

Who remained a candidate into election day knowing he didn’t have a prayer? Ross Perot.

He give us Clinton the first time, and he pulled a repeat the second time.

I would have voted for him, until he went skitzoid on us.

In a three-way between Clinton, Perot, and Bush, Bush is the better guy.

Here’s some other comments.
