Don't blame Ross for the mistakes of others. In fact, that election was a little bit similar to 2016, the only difference being, Ross ran as an independent, vs. hijacking a major party like Trump did. Both businessmen, both right on the issues.


2xPerot voter

I don't disagree that Ross was spot on - maybe we would have been better off than with Bush. But, if he hadn't run, I think Bush would have won handily and while we might not have been as well off with Bush as with Perot, we'd certainly have been better off than with Bubba. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think Bubba lost many votes to Perot. Bush certainly did.
