Yes, like the eight year temporary sacrifice better known as the Clintons.

All of those principled Perot votes look rather sad in retrospect.

Both liberals and conservatives voted for Perot, and he was no conservative himself. If he had been, and it was clear he attracted only conservative votes, then those eight years would have been very different, because it would have been clear that not only did the majority vote against Clinton, they voted against everything he stood for. And the upshot may very well have been a real conservative in the White House today.
