The weaker candidate (Bush) suffered the most at the hands of Perot.

The same will happen now.

Brandon is by far the weakest POTUS candidate ever.

It had nothing to do with him being the "weaker" candidate. If that was true, he would have lost anyway.

It was that Perot won in demographics far more likely to vote Republican. Perot probably won a lot of voters who would have voted for either major candidate, or wouldn't have voted at all. But he also had a lot of white voters, who were going to vote for Bush. I don't think, for example, he had a huge amount of minority support.
