History FYI -

Bill Clinton won his first prez run because Ross Perot ran as the third party candidate. On that election night Perot pumped his fist in the air and exclaimed, "WE WON!!" Oh yeah? He only got about 18% of the vote. He "won" because he hated George Bush and told Clinton he would do anything he could to get him elected. Clinton garnered only about 43% of the vote.

The 18-19% that Perot garnered would have given George H.W. Bush the win.

You are exactly right on clinton and perot, the “volunteers”
were set up. I too saw the joy exhibited by perot on election night because “he won”! It was done to destroy GHWBush and perot succeeded, the scum bag.
