First you’re wrong about Perot. We know that because he actually did drop out, then came back. The first poll after he returned Clinton’s numbers dropped by twice as much as Bush’s. Clinton’s lead was cut in half by his reentry. Furthermore exit polls showed that 38% of Perot voters said Bush was their first choice, and 38% said Clinton was their first choice. The notion that Perot cost Bush the election was an excuse put out by the Bushies to explain away his loss.
Second, where’s your evidence that Libertarian voters would vote Republican? To hear it on FR, libertarians are supposed to be liberals in disguise. That’s nonsense of course, but there’s no real evidence that they would go Pub either.
Finally the latest Fox poll with Trump vs. Clinton has Trump 45, Clinton 42. The same poll with Johnson added is Trump 42, Clinton 39, Johnson 10. Trump has a 3% lead either way. No difference.
There are just no facts to back up your opinion.
“To hear it on FR, libertarians are supposed to be liberals in disguise. That’s nonsense of course, but there’s no real evidence that they would go Pub either.
You’re right!
Libertarians are either.....
Former Democrats who no longer smoke dope,
or
Former Republicans who have started smoking dope!
I believe Perot cost Bush a few states.
Georgia
New Hampshire
Montana
Nevada
and maybe Ohio (it’s always close so who knows)
That would have made it closer but not a win.
No way Clinton wins Montana or Georgia if Perot wasn’t there.
