He had traction and could have made a dent. He made a lot of sense about running government more like a business. In modern times, he was the closest we've come to a "not in the club", non-politician, like Trump.
But he dropped out of the race, totally lost momentum, and then later tried to get back in the race. There was no chance after that.
At the time he claimed Republican operatives were trying to disrupt his daughter's wedding and that was why he dropped out. It was dismissed as a BS conspiracy theory... but... considering all that has transpired since then and all we've seen...
Considering Bush was director of the CIA... It was probably highly likely there were very real and credible threats or at least some kind of serious fuckery going on that scared him enough to bail out.
Perot might have won if he had not dropped out and re-entered.
Most of his supporters went to Clinton and he never got them back.
no, perot voters were republican right wing. data backs it up.
Oh that's right, there was no election fraud before 2000.
It was probably worse. Those scantron bubble readers can give out fraction results.
I voted for Perot in an electronic voting machine. Easy to manipulate results.

George HW Bush would have destroyed Clinton if Perot was not in the race.
