“Stockdale was the only one who made sense in that debate.”
Stockdale intended only to be a stand-in as Perot’s VP. He didn’t want to be VP, he was merely a placeholder for Perot until Perot could replace him with a serious VP candidate.
But Stockdale got stuck acting as Perot’s VP in the debate due to Perot dropping out of the race and then re-entering it. Perot didn’t have time to recruit a candidate.
Stockdale was a highly intelligent man, an academic as well a brave military officer. It’s a shame when fools dishonor him, particularly on a forum like FR.
