And how many of the Perot votes would have gone to Clinton?

Perot did not strike any chord with the leftists - his constituency was mostly disaffected conservatives (like myself) who, in the absence of Perot, would have voted against Clinton (as opposed to voting for Bush).

The third party vote, including mine, gave us the Clintons.

Actually exit polls, and other polls after the fact, made it clear that Perot’s support was about 50/50

Bush and the GOP lost votes. Perot merely reflected the issues of the time; which still have not been ‘fixed’, ie trade policies and the national debt.

If Perot hadn’t run, those voters likely would have stayed home or voted 3rd-party.

I voted Perot...I would have stayed home rather than vote for NWO Bush...
