perot (who only some years back outsourced EVERYBODY’S jobs) cost a lot of votes
But saying read my lips and then raising taxes didn’t help
and being kind of a mush didn’t help
88 percent approval after the war
how does on lose a year and a half later?
Cause he was a Dick!

You kind of answered your own question. Certainly raising taxes would normally kill GHW Bush at the ballot. But Clinton was so obviously bad in character, it seemed clear cut he shouldn't have even been nominated.
Bush raising taxes led to Ross Perot, another populist businessman, like Trump. Had he not run, Bush would have won.
As I said, that was my first disillusionment with the American voter. 1996 was the second. My expectations were at the bottom, and then Obama got elected, lowering them more.
