I am sure he was a good human being, but I voted for Perot.

And have never regretted it. I have always seen Trump as Perot 2.0, this time without withdrawing!

I voted for Perot the first time in ‘92. Then I realized that votes for Perot threw the election to Clinton and didn’t want to make the same mistake twice.

I too was underwhelmed with Dole/Kemp in 1996.

This was around the time that Free Republic was getting off the ground. Before that, many of us old-timers were on the Prodigy/Whitewater BB. Including Jim Robinson.

Just over a year later, the Monica Lewinsky story broke. Then a lot of Freepers (including myself) met in DC late October 1998.

From that point on, I regretted my Perot vote and not voting for Dole.

Yes, Trump was definitely Perot 2.0. Trump had a much thicker skin then Perot and I feel his presidential chapter is not fully written yet. Not by a long shot.

Basically, you voted for Clinton. Dole is basically a version of 41 but I doubt that he would had raised taxes at that time. 41 made that mistake and it cost him the election in ‘92.
