All those people who voted for George HW “Read My Lips” Bush in 1992? If they’d have voted for Perot Clinton wouldn’t have one.
I actually DID vote for Perot, and it was the one vote I regret. Not that Bush I was so great (he wasn’t), but that it opened the door for Der Schlickmeister. Afterwards, I’ve always voted Republican even when I had to hold my nose to do so (as was the case for Dole and McCain).
