I wish I knew more about Ross at the time he ran for president.

Many that voted for GHWB the first time were really hoping for Reagan term #3, but did not get that. And then Perot tried to run on our National Debt at the time which Reagan ran up while fighting the nuclear missile war with the Soviets. Then came GHWB's famous "No new taxes" line and Perot shot up like a rocket in the polls. At one time, he was leading the race between Perot, GHWB and Clinton.

What happened next was simply inexplainable at the time but makes perfect sense now. Perot dropped out of the race right at the height of his popularity. He did rejoin the race but by that point, the damage was done and all that he did in the end is split the vote with GHWB and Clinton won.

The dems didnt even need a third party distraction this time around. They used the pandemic as the perfect cover for their cheating.

I was one of those people. Boy, was I sadly mistaken. That was the start of my understanding of establishment republicans. It has only become more vividly clear in the past 4 years. I was still blind to it when W ran for office. I stuck with him thru 8 years. Defended his Iraq war. I still have no problem with invading Iraq. My only problem was it never ended and we didn't take out Iran.
