Actually people who voted THIRD PARTY for Ross Perot led to the Clintons. Now, we're stuck with them forever.

1992 was HWBush's to lose. He did.

He even admitted in an interview soon after the election that he thought he would win because he was the incumbent, so he didn't see the need to campaign very much against that upstart from Arkansas.

Sorry, but the fault was more HWB than Perot.

And HWB's famous 'read my lips' lie. That helped do him in.

There are three good reasons Bush lost the base in ‘92, which is why Bush lost that election.

1. The base knew instinctively stopping short and leaving Saddam in power was a huge mistake that would lead to another war.
2. “Read My Lips...NO NEW TAXES!
3. Caving in to the LA rioters and re-prosecuting after a jury found the LEOs not guilty - then Ruby Ridge.

But these errors cannot be acknowledged, so the myth of Ross Perot causing Bush that election is always maintained.

Here is the 1992 election analysis of the numbers as they pertain to the charge that the Clintons are Perot’s fault:

Keep telling yourself that. Bush threw his presidency away. You Bush voters should’ve voted Perot.
