He is. I really met some interesting people in the ten years I was in D.C.

He hated George Bush. I wonder if he regretted his role in electing Clinton since it created a crime family to rival the Bushes in power to destroy the America he loved.

He had many talents and virtues, but politics was not among them. He sounded promising when he first started to run and I signed a petition to get him on the ballot. But his statements soon began to turn goofy, and his VP was completely inept in the debate, sealing their doom. Peropt became a laughing stock, with some classics by Rush Limbaugh.

You're right that his splitting the vote put the Clinton mafia in power, which turned out to be much worse than what people realized about the Clinton's at the time. Aside from the Slick Willy syndrome, he appointed the viro mafia to run Federal agencies, causing enormous damage trampling people's rights. A lesson learned is not to just look at what a presidential candidate says, look at the kind of appointments he will make in accordance with his party's ideology.

Not that Bush had been any kind of success. His political establishment elitism, putting him out of touch with the damage his administration was causing, was his undoing. In particular, the Federal land agencies like the National Park Service went berserk under Bush's self-proclaimed "environmental presidency" and the rural land rights movement, a big part of the so-called "base", deserted Bush in droves. Who knows if Perot would have known any better in that realm. Clinton was not, in different ways.

During the 2016 campaign many observed that Trump was beginning to look like a Perot debacle. He got through that but still leaves people sitting on edge wondering what crazy statement he will make next, and still causes fear that he will do something unstable with severe bad results for everyone.

Yes , I vividly remember Ross stating that if NAFTA passed you would hear a sucking sound of jobs leaving the country. He was right and President Trump is correct in renegotiating the disasterous trade deal.

The speech he gave at the National Press Club was a classic including all the issues and solutions (including some that Trump has used.) https://www.c-span.org/video/?25063-1...

It was around this time that the book "Shadows of Power" fell into my hands. And I began to realize WHY we always make terrible decisions.

Why the republicans JOIN the democrats to vote BAD bills into law, but the Dems NEVER come over to vote Good Bills (Kates Law).

Now, everyone calls them the Deep State. And the Blackmail is a key part of it. I was surprised Trump was not assassinated. Then I found out he maintains his OWN Security IN ADDITION to Secret Service, and I am grateful.

I voted for Perot. And I truly think he would have been killed the instant he tried to change things. Look at the vicious, and non-stop attacks on our current President.

If we had social media, I think Perot would have won, and I think we would have been better if he could have survived it...

Sad to see him go!

He made himself look unstable for a lot more than than. Not temporarily dropping out probably would have made no difference. Perot became a laughing stock, which was exploited in some classic parodies by Rush Limbaugh.

My understanding was that it was MUCH MORE SEVERE and DIRECT. I was told he opened up his LOCKED pickup truck and found an envelope with a photo of his soon to be married daughter in the cross hairs... As a message.

He withdrew (and destroyed his chances), and AFTER the wedding, he came back in. Then picked the WORSE VP ever. A good man who was NOT up for the Media. Imagine if his VP was Trump :-)
