Well, I bow to your all-around goodness, Ol’ Dan.

Obviously, I have no business even assuming to make any comments.

the economy was fairly good and the mood of the country was optimistic.

I don't remember it being fairly good nor an excess of optimism. Might have just been my life at the time ... Bankruptcy, divorce, homelessness and living out of my truck at rest stops and Walmart parking lots.

The Ratpublican primaries are even more rigged than the Dummies.

Bawb Dull was the cream? Juan Mc Stain?

It's been a rigged game since I started voting in the early 80s.

Perot and Trump were and are not globalist stooges on the puppet stage show.

Trump won against the rigged primaries.

As I said, Perot should have taken that route.

Running as an independent, Perot ran afoul of the weirdness that infects American politics ... only the establishment elite are able to serve as President. Everyone else is a Socialist/Green/Communist/Whacko nutjob.

President Trump is running afoul of the same rule. Trump won as a Republican but the rest of “his” party is hardly loyal and stalwart. (In fact, I’m willing to bet that Trump’s party would string him up if given the chance.)

And that is a pity. Both “major” parties SUCK and they scratch each other’s back so much that you can’t tell the players without a scorecard. I mean, how can the only “legitimate” candidates be the same assholes who have been screwing us for decades on end? How can Biden even show his face in public after being part of the PROBLEM since the 1970s?

I would love to see independent third-party candidates get a decent shot at the brass ring. Perot definitely sucked votes away from the Republican and let Billy C steal the win. But what if we had actually given him a chance?
