Perot trumpeted his engineering skills the way
The Donald does his business skills. Remember,
Perot created Electronic Data Systems, which
he sold to GM, and was worth billions of dollars.
Perot glossed over the deeper analysis of America’s
problems at the time by saying things like, “We’ll
lift up the hood and poke around in there and see
what needs to be done.” Dana Carvey nailed Perot’s
idiosyncrasies on Saturday Night Live. Perot’s
main thing was fighting NAFTA, which was that
“giant sucking sound” down south.
Where Trump has charisma, Perot was just ... odd. But
he wasn’t that smarmy SOB Bush.
No one gives a flying f*ck about Perot. Perot is not relevant. He’s nowhere near as charismatic or as attractive as Donald Trump. Period; End of Story.
