re: “Iirc Perot made most of his fortune through government contracts for computer support to agencies like Social Security.”
Bingo!
I’m still proud to say that I voted for Ross, after I discovered what a snake George Bush was.
This comes as no surprise to followers of Perot from way back.
1. Great story. Loved the blurb about Gary Sinise
2. I loved Ross Perot. Voted for him twice. Even so, I’m still confused with him weirding out during his first run.
3. If it weren’t for the weirding out I’m pretty darn sure Ross Perot was going to win.
4. Has anybody ever gotten to the bottom of this incident? Did Ross scuttle his own campaign? What spooked the Billionaire who could have easily hired a mercenary army for protection?
you got us Bubba Clinton
Can you post the entire article as the source is behind a paywall...thanks!
Agree. Think of how Goldwater broke the ground that Reagan followed later. Trump learned from Perot’s failed bids.
The more I learn about Perot, the more I like him.
The more I learn about the Bushes, the less I like them.
First was Perot, then Palin, and now Trump.
This is your brain >.< on or off drugs, so go back to your bubbagum.
Read it for what it is.
Jeb Bush basically wrote that he (and his Bush family) wished PDJT was dead July 4th, remember?)...
This is meant to keep the Bush family off balance. Perot cost Bush Sr a second term.
you got us Bubba Clinton
Bush got us Clinton. And Souter, etc., etc.
History shows us that on the big issues of our time like borders and trade Bush and Clinton were in near total agreement.
Well he gave us Bill Clinton. You proud of that?
Especially since they were free since he was military.

It will make the whole article much easier on the eyes & without all the annoying ads, etc. Works for MOST websites. Especially helpful when reading on your phone. Learned it here at FR.
As I recall, Perot technically did not “drop out” of the 1992 race; he had not formally declared his candidacy. Then he said he would not run; then said he would run. Have we heard that before.
“He made all of his fortune by creating a computer system that could bill Medicare. Every penny.”
Fake news.
The treatment he got was not something the military could provide at the time. The 0-6 was able to come back on active duty for years but did succumb to his disease years later. Perot bought him years. Personally, I didn’t care much for the guy as he was a serious racist.
What is Electronic Data Systems for $500, Alex?
I thought so, too.
