The author forgot about the greatest third party candidate of all time, the hero of the nation Ralph Nader. Unlike Perot, who took pissed off voters from both parties, Nader took votes almost solely from Gore giving Florida and the Electoral College to Bush II.

If Perot had not run his voters would have needed to split 2/3 for Bush I for im to beat Clinton.

Yes, I know both Democrats and Republicans who voted for Perot.

The secret no one talks about is that, in some ways, Trump is basically Perot running as a Republican. Trump appeals to many of the same voters Perot did, including Democrats, but unlike Perot, he won a major party’s nomination and thus secured the votes of most of that party’s base.
