I voted for Perot twice. I went to two of his rallies. He was a smart man . Both parties smeared him as crazy and the media smeared him too



I put my home made sign out on my lawn. I remember seeing large Perot signs on the country sides and painted on barns.

On NAFTA, Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh were wrong; Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan and Jesse Jackson were right.

I liked Ross Perot. I don't think that anyone smeared him as crazy. His running mate, that's a different story.

People always fantasized that if we elected a businessman as President, he would run the country as a business, and all would be good. We finally tried that with Trump, and it was a disaster.

No it wasn’t. It was on a roll. Until, the CCP launched their biological attack. Easy win for them. Make certain an imbecile gets plopped in the White House.

Interesting. Very few see it yet it’s right in front of the eyes. Prominent western world leaders are going, OMG. You don’t hear most of them commenting on the current WH occupant. Do You?

Wrong.
Trump proved that a businessman could run the country much better than any politician

I had never really been that informed on politics, but that was the reasoning my young, at the time, mind had (about Perot). Made sense to me.

I've also always wondered whether women might make better leaders, simply because of having been mothers and organizing and running households, managing many different categories simultaneously, viewpoints (children), etc. Keep the men for force and protection, or military strategy. I know I'll probably get slayed for this comment, from one side or the other, or both, but I'm not trying to be insulting. I'm just a dummy postulating theories.

He was well ahead of his time. I remember him as a kid. I did not like Dems nor republicans.

Not as bad as Obama but increased spending, increased debt, never ending wars, sky high welfare. In other words business as usual.

Not that you care about the truth.
