At least he took on Clinton... “Governor of Arkansas? To be President? That’s like saying because I ran the corner grocery store I’m qualified to be CEO of Walmart’. Or words to that effect...
Didn’t know that. I always get a kick out of seeing Dick Crenna’s directorial credit on The Andy Griffith Show. From Bsrney Fife, to Rambo, to Perot.
I have heard that too!
If I had to place bets, I’d go with the story that involves the contract - money!
It’s always comes down to money! Particularly when they scream it isn’t!

george soros was the one who should have gone!
RIP
George W. Bush reenacted the Mexico City policy, I’m talking about ‘41. The Vice Presidency was a sop to the conservative wing of the party, and his appointments were likely chosen for broader reasons than their stances on a single issue. In any case, he also nominated David Souter to the Supreme Court and Sonia Sotomayor to a US district court seat. His record in Congress was where he was truly abysmal on pro-life issues where he helped secure federal funding for Planned Parenthood, in addition to authoring population control and eugenics legislation. Nothing he did as president has undone the generations of damage he help wreak in Congress.
The Man Who Supposedly Cost George H. W. Bush the Presidency

He dropped out when he realized he was going to win...he came back in to sink Bush.
Reagan enacted it originally and it wasn’t rescinded until Clinton got into office.
I voted for Trump after accepting that he was beating Cruz.But considering that there was a businessman president named Herbert Hoover - who started the Depression that FDR didn’t cure in part because his policy was too much like Hoover’s - I was not rooting for “a businessman.” I was mostly voting for “Not Clinton.” And in hope that his judicial nominees would be OK, knowing that Hillary’s would not be.
I voted GHWB in 1992 - not that a presidential vote amounts to a hill of beans in NY State - but in hindsight it would certainly have been as well to have voted Perot. In reality, Trump conducted a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, and to the extent possible he has moved it to a Reform Party posture. Minus the racism which Trump thought he detected in Reform . . .
Voting in PA now, my vote counted about as much as anyone’s in 20016 . . .
I remember when he gave a speech to the Washington Press Corps. In the Q&A part, some smarmy reporter asked him if people would listen to him if he didn’t have any money.
Perot answered “No”. and there was a stunned silence, then an embarrassed titter. They had never heard someone speak so honestly before.

You’re right. Thanks for the reminder. It’s been a while.
He was pushed out of the race.
He was so far ahead of the rest of America. Finally, Trump is the one to clean up the messes made by the liberal overlords that Perot pointed out so many years ago.
