Shades of ross Perot. He handed the 1992 election to Bill Clinton.

That's mindless BS! Bush is why clinton was elected.

Perhaps you are too young to remember, or have a lapse in memory.

Clinton 43.0%
Bush 37.5%
Perot 18.9%

I don’t think one Perot vote would have Ever gone to Clinton.

“That’s mindless BS! Bush is why clinton was elected.”

Naw. It was because of Perot that we got Clinton.

But I don’t think anything about a Trump is analogous or comparable to Perot.

“That’s mindless BS! Bush is why clinton was elected.”

Mindless BS eh?
here’s the ‘82 Election:

Bill Clinton (43.0%)
George H. W. Bush (37.4%)
Ross Perot (18.9%)

It looks to me like Perot split the vote after all.

I agree. Blaming Perot for Bush being a dud is the GOP establishment line. Bush blew that election through his own actions.

[Springfield Reformer]

No, Perot was a big factor. I remember. I had relatives who voted for him. They had no political compass. All they knew for certain was they didn’t like any of those low-life career politicians. They just wanted a fresh start. It didn’t matter that mathematically Perot wasn’t going to win. They wanted to have their say and Perot was their way to do it. Tragically short-sighted.

Peace,
