Perot was right. And had more intelligence and integrity than the other two combined.



I don't know Valsdad, I feel like I am usually in line with you, but
If no one had, we might have wound up with the presumptive republican candidate in '16 as opposed to the non-politician.

Who was the presumptive candidate again?



Rhetorical question Oldman?



There might be a reason there why many preferred Perot.

Dude,

I'm almost always up and at the Gulag feeding and watering by this time.

The electrician man is coming in 10 minutes to electrify our shop/garage!

I got scheidt pulled away from the walls on the right half yesterday, so he has an easier time running conduit.

While he's running the ditch witch for the run over from the supply to the shop, I'm going to get after the left side. It's not going to be fun.

This be fuggin with my retirement though. Only getting one cup of coffee in me before I put on real clothes and not just my house shorts.

I voted for Perot. I still have my campaign buttons. I also volunteered with the campaign and did voter registration drives. My boss at the time was a Perot supporter also so we had an ongoing voter registration at the retail shop. I literally registered hundreds of people to vote and campaigned hard for Perot. It was not for nothing as many cuckservitives here will argue. Perot changed the focus of the campaign. Deficit spending became front and center and the UniParty was forced to acknowledge the problem. Real policy change happened and within a few years the deficit spending slowed and for one budget year we actually had a “balanced” budget. Little George and his endless wars brought an end to the drive for fiscal responsibility and brought back the unlimited money printing press budgeting. Remember that stalwart conservative Dick Cheney proudly declaring “deficits don’t matter” ? Bush , Clinton , Bush , Obama there isn’t a nickels worth of difference. All globalist scum. Trump is the first President elected that I actually voted for and the second time I’d voted for someone. The other votes were votes against someone. Voting for the lesser of two evils is dispiriting and I’m pretty sure that when Trump is gone I’ll e back to voting for the lesser of two evils again.

It does not take much brainpower to find out that what Perot and Trump were saying is the Truth.

Ross Perot was right, the NAFTA trade deal bled this country dry of manufacturing and middle class jobs.

I watched as the concrete industry was taken over by Mexico. Auto industry was decimated. Main street America suffered for globalism.







If I had not been to MX as many times as I have and driven all over it, I wouldn't know how true that is.

That was pretty much the case. Even as a young man I knew it; however I would have voted for him too if I would have been home to vote back then.

Well,

with Bush the first we got a 50/50 deal in SCOTUS judges, right?

Roberts and Alito I think.

Roberts seems to be haunting us now.

Imagine if George the Elder had been given more chances?

Imagine who Perot might have nominated too.

To those who say "you threw your vote away"

Assuming you voted Trump in '18....................................


Would you have voted for him had he been a third party candidate and the Repubs were running another Deep State operative.....................


Or Romney..................Republican Light?

Dang right.

And they ain't them Southern Boomer light blue coveralls either.

Wrangler Riggs, Ranger Pants, pockets galore for things like gloves and utility knives.

Just FYI.................I wear them most every day for a few hours. Weedeating the fire break, staking up the mater (for me, not for my wife like you whistle ), doing some tractor work. etc.

And no, I don't wear, or even own, a wife beater for around the house. I wear a real T shirt,........if any at all.

How's Nana's beans today?

I wasted my vote on Bush, Ross Perot lost me when he quit. Trump is a loud mouth yankee, but there's no quit in him.

How do you decide who the "Deep State operative" is? My best guess is that the person who surprisingly wins the election, regardless of the polling and the predictions of most pundits, is likely a "Deep State operative". But I won't have much luck convincing people here. Because America Has Been Made Great Again, obviously, since he was elected. This is exactly the country I hoped for.

92 was my second big election, 22 years old.


Long haul trucking, Rush Limbaugh keeping me awake, it was
obvious Perot could only be a spoiler. He couldn't win.


Plus he was squirrelly as heck, and not committed.
He jumped in.
He jumped out.

I was looking to elect POTUS.

Not play the Hokey-Pokey!

Sort of..
I used to be an independent because i never liked politicians.$trike that, never trusted politicians....
I guess I am wondering if Perot broke trail for non politicians a bit. Not that we will ever know....

I wouldn’t vote for that POS if you put a gun to my head. If it was him or Biden, I just wouldn’t vote.
