Ah Ross Perot a big reason Bill Clinton won the POTUS gig.
He did do a good job when his men were trapped in the Middle East! RIP |

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 |

Perot joined the Boy Scouts of America and made Eagle Scout in 1942, after 13 months in the program. He is a recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award.[7][8]
From 1947 to 1949, he attended Texarkana Junior College, then entered the United States Naval Academy in 1949 and helped establish its honor system. he left the Navy in 1957 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot |

I have always felt that if he had not quit the election and then rejoin he may have won the election. May he rest in peace and be blessed by God.

My Ross Perot story:
My sister-in-law was a vice president for a major insurance company before she retired a decade ago. In the early 80s her company had transferred her to Dallas, and she and my brother enjoyed their time there. She once had a business meeting with him on an insurance matter and she asked him, why was it that when people were moving west, they decided to settle in the spot that was now Dallas? His immediate answer was "Their mule died". |

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. |
