Perot is good. Trump ran a brief stint under the Reform party in 2000, of which Perot helped steer.

He dropped out because David Duke ‘supported’ him and didn’t want to be associated with a nasty guy. Also, the 3rd party was too weak.

They got David Duke to again poison Trump’s well in 2016. Didn’t work. Trump also elected to run as a Republican, rather than a 3rd party as before.

Although he did imply that if he did not get the nomination, he would run as an Independent, a huge threat to Republican chances at beating Hillary. That’s what his hand raising moment was about during the debates. It created incredible leverage to secure him the nomination.

Peerot just wanted to wreck Bush Sr. and the story was some kind of threats to him or his kids made him drop out.

Man, I wish he succeeded. Old man Bush was head of the CIA at the time of the Kennedy assassination. All of our troubles accelerated, first, under that traitor Johnson, and even moreso under him.
