“Ross Perot is the reason you got Clinton then. Donald Trump will be the reason you get Clinton now.”
What will give us Clinton NOW is a fractured Republican Party, which is an absolute guarantee if we have a contested convention. Like it or not, the guy who is a somewhat distant #2 in a political race doesn’t get to dictate terms, doesn’t get to blame #1 for losing. The reality is that both sides have to give a little, both sides have to extend the hand of friendship, to be able to unify and fight the enemy of both of them.
It is now largely Cruz’ choice whether we will have a contested convention (thought the voters may determine otherwise, though I don’t think that the odds are very great of that happening). I hope and pray that he makes the right choice, one that’s puts the short and long term interests of the country ahead of his short term interests (because he’s young and will have another shot like Nixon did, IF he plays his cards right). Regardless of your viewpoint, I urge you to pray for Cruz to make the best decision for this country (whatever that may be - I clearly have my opinion, but I am realistic enough to know that I can be wrong).
“No, George H.W. Bush is the reason we got Clinton then.”
Bill Clinton won with 43% of the popular vote. You’re right, Perot had absolutely nothing to do with that.
