I don’t recall Perot having this much impact. Enlighten me if you recall something different.
He sure as Hell did.
He was WINNING heading into the summer, and so he made up some lame excuse about his daughter's wedding and quit, and then came back in a couple months before the election.
Perot would have won, had he wanted to.
He never intended to win. He hated George W. Bush. That was the only reason he entered the race, to deny 41 a second term.
