>> the Ross Perot debacle.
He singlehandedly changed the direction of this Country. Perot knew damn well he would not win.
Let’s begin with the Clinton era concerning national security...
Ross Perot didn’t run to win; he ran to give a voice to many people not represented by the 2 segments of the one party we have (Republicrats). He won 19% of the vote - that is significant, and in my eyes justifies what he did (even though BJ Clinton was horrible). Clinton also learned from it, and was a better “Republican” than the one he followed.
