Anyone but Bush - That shows character.

And Ross had a whiny annoying voice with no charisma. Ross was almost cartoonish. Apples and Oranges IMO.

Ross is smarter.

Read an article last week that suggested what Trump started with, he should be way better off than he is.

Perot ran as an independent and later founded and ran as a Reform Party candidate, in part because of Americans' growing weariness of the two party system that wasn't getting results.

Trump has vowed loyalty to the Republican Party by stating he won't run as a third party candidate.

That shows a somewhat different philosophy in terms of wanting to step outside of or stay within the common confines of the old two party system.

Dana Carvey did a better Perot than Perot did

I wouldn't vote for either one, but what does Perot s height have to do with anything?

Let's see.....

The man who stood with the POW/MIA families and did everything possible to bring their loved ones, who spent years and years enduring brutal torture in the Hanoi Hilton, home.

or

The guy who avoided serving his country but calls those who did "losers".

Perot. It's not even close. It's comparing a prime rib dinner with something off the taco truck.

Trump is chummy with the Clintons, I wonder if Trump will ultimately run as an independent to make sure that Hilary wins.

No, Clinton did not win because of Perot. That's a pathetic excuse made up by the cons who can't accept that they lost

That is ****ing bull****. Clinton got 43% of the popular vote and 370 electoral votes, and he didn't win because of Perot, he won because the people voted for him.

Why the hell is it that anytime the Republican wins we're told that "the people have spoken!" but anytime the Democrat wins there's always some bull**** excuse to try and make like he didn't really win?
