>> "He would win big.Nope
Zero electoral votes.
As planned."
Wait, what?
If he has the (R) party label and is on all the ballots How can you possibly say that?
That's an almost automatic 180 to 200 electoral votes as long as he is a Republican and even mildly Conservative, unlike Romney and Dole. Depending on the (D)ummycrat opponent, it could be more.
Getting that from 200 to 300 is the issue that matters. And someone that can draw cross-party, especially union, blue-collar and blue-dog can make this happen. Indeed it's the only way it can happen.
MI, PA, WI, IN, IA, OH, FL, NC, these are most assuredly in play with him. If he makes a real run at NY and CA, it could become a landslide. But we are a real long way from this discussion.
I suspect you are a (R)epublicrat dead-ender that still uses Perot as a scapegoat for your own incompetence even though you continually lose with or without a spoiler.
You have no math that can possibly prove you have a chance in Hell without drawing votes from the other side. The ball is in your court, demonstrate the path to 270+ any way you can ...
... still waiting ...
