He would’ve been our President Trump, before we got the real one.
Imagine world history if we didn’t suffer from GHWB, Bubba, GWB or obola !!
May Mr Perot’s memory be eternal.

Bill Clinton to deliver heartfelt and sincere eulogy.
16
Like Frank Sinatra, he did it his way.

@joe6pak,
what would elder Bush have done in his second term that would’ve been vastly different than Clinton?
The Uniparty’s roots were showing from when Ike pointed them out.
11
…thanks for the Hillary co-presidency, dill hole…
…someone should work that into his eulogy, not that Bush I take 2 would have been different…
7
I think Perot was an honest man but what people need to remember is he split off enough conservative votes to give Clinton the Presidency and Clinton (among other debacles and treasonous acts) gave us the 2008 financial near meltdown) and Clinton begat Bush who begat Obama. It’s a lesson on running a third party in a two party system that everyone needs to learn from.
In any event, RIP Mr. Perot.
27
Not his fault we had a uniparty masquerading as choice
18
What is that giant sucking sound I hear? He would not have been equal to Trump, squeaky voice for one thing.
6
When employees of his company were trapped in Iran, Perot sent in mercenaries to rescue them when the pussy-assed Carter administration refused to do jack fucking shit… Perot would’ve made a great POTUS.
Mrs. Guevara snuck into his speech to the NAACP by claiming to be a member of the press in what would become his infamous “you people” speech.
Good times.
He was right about most things. The media’s treatment of his VP Adm Jim Stockdale, a true hero in every sense, remains an unsettled score. They’ll toss out the Tulsi Gabbards, Tammy Duckworths, Buttigiegs, etc but none were fit to shine that man’s shoes.
18
A good patriotic man.
Perhaps his efforts informed Trump’s later success.
I want to hear what POTUS DJT has to say about Mr Perot.
14
Loved his analogies. I think it was Dana Carvey who played him when he said; You can’t put two squirrels in a paper bag and expect to make licorice.
FWIW, I was a college kid at the time and was all for his candidacy. He was a conservative Burnie Sanders at the time.
Perot was a patriot. I’m proud to have voted for him. Choosing between Perot and Herbert Bush was like choosing between Jeb! and Trump. I don’t care. Go on and flame me if it makes you feel better. A lot of people voted for Perot but most won’t admit it. BTW – if Trump had lost, most wouldn’t admit to supporting him either.
19
Davy, I voted for Perot for the same reason I voted for President Trump. I was tired of the same old swamp politicians. And, yes, he was a patriot.
19
And thanks for the Clintons, Ross…….!

RIP
I always thought they should have used an H. Ross Perot-type (looking) character in “Indecent Proposal” instead of Robert Redford to make it more realistic.
But what do I know?
izlamo delenda est …
6
He’ll always be known to me as the man who gave us Jeffrey Epstein’s buddy, Bill Clinton.
10
Well, his third party run did bump out Bush, and gave us Clinton.
Then again, Bush sucked, and blew it. If he didn’t suck, Perot would have never surfaced.
16
Whether you like it or not, we have a two party system. A third party candidate has practically zero chance of winning, at least into the foreseeable future.
The so-called “principled” vote is just a vote for one of the other candidates. In the case of Perot, he siphoned votes from Bush and gave us the Clintons. Regardless of how you felt about Bush, the Clintons were FAR worse, and needed to be stopped, even if that meant
holding your nose and voting for Bush. Was Perot a
patriot? Maybe, but I think his candidacy was more driven by his long-standing hatred for the Bushes. Consider that in 92, he suspended his campaign when the polls showed Clinton leading, and resumed his campaign when Bush lead the polls. No one can predict the future with exactitude, but in the Clintons case, there was plenty of evidence from Arkansas of their corruption, and it was obvious at the time that voting Perot would Insure a Clinton win. Having said all this, I have, in the past, voted for other third-party candidates, but I was very young and foolish.
7
I liked him and wish it would have been a 2 horse race because that election led to the festering syphilis pig and her husbands rise to corruption & the moral decay they ushered in.
12
Perot illuminated the fact that dba Republican Party was just a trade name of Uniparty Inc.
HW Bush squandered Reagan’s legacy with his Kennebunkport liberalism. He was the alpha RINO.
13
“You People”
I voted for him, knowing I was throwing my vote away. It was a protest vote.
Another way to look at Perot’s candidacy was yes it gave us Clinton in 1992 but the American voter then voted in the Gingrich Republican wave in 1994 and put the adults back in charge in Congress.
10
He took a lot of criticism, some with merit, some not, but he was a brilliant businessman. He started EDS with $1000 and built it into a highly successful business. Here in DFW, he is mostly looked at in a positive way. Ridiculously wealthy, but could frequently be seen eating at Dickey’s Barbecue. Just an everyday guy who happened to have lots of money.
11
At the time, Perot sounded like a complete kook only because I was a raging leftist. When I became a conservative, I took a second look at Perot and realized how much he loved our country and was highly motivated to help protect it. He was a character, but a smart man. May he RIP.

Tony R; Your right the two party system is a failure. We need 4 or more that win consistently. The two party system is a losing game for voters.

Weird I was just wondering the other day – what ever happened to Ross Perot, where is he today?
It was after watching a news report about how Trump has fixed the things that Ross warned about that were implemented, that giant sucking sound of jobs moving to Mexico. He was a wild and crazy guy about a lot of other things, but he had the nafta effect figured out accurately. RIP RP
8
Shows how if you live long enough
people will praise you regardless
of your worthlessness.
Perot had good things to say
but his third party posture
guaranteed the election and re-election
of the
Clintonian Interregnum
This is the only result of political posture
and should be thought of as a
NEGATIVE !
2
Voted for him, proudly.
Maybe it was that darn tootin’ Texas accent?
FIRST MAGA MAN.
Oh, history will be kind to Perot, but not Clinton and maybe the Bushes. (Perot hired mercenaries to get his peeps out of Iran).
MIA’s were Perots’ passion and Bush 1 screwed him on the repatriation, hence the hatred.
5
89 my ASS!!! He was 189 when he ran against Bush 41!!!
A look back to Ross in that time, prior to the chuckle heads of the internet, demonstrated the MSM of that time.
He got attacked by the original MSM constantly.
Brought the real need to focus on the uni-party government out.
All the BS Dem/Rep division still keeps them in office.
Worked my whole life in some form of business and have always considered the US Government, not the GM, Chrysler, FF to today, Bozos, Suckaturd, Musk etc. to be the largest BUSINESS since it’s inception.
Business 101 – to provide a service or product for profit.
Shame Ross didn’t get his chance,
And now, am grateful in that time, this Trump ‘kid’ seems to have agreed with him,,,

I am (and was then) sick and tired of holding my nose and voting for “the lesser of two evils”. I too voted for Ross Perot. Fook the evil fookin’ bushs and fook the evil fookin’ clintons. I can’t help it if the majority of the electorate are idiots.
Requiescat in Pace Ross Perot.

what is all this projection of Trump on Perot? Trump is no Perot, thank God. Perot was in the race for one reason only, to get a ‘great sucking sound’ of conservative votes away from Bush to propel Clinton to the White House … and all that baggage he brought w/ him, including his harridan.
didn’t like Bush one bit, but Clinton less … but what do I know? I voted McLame (actually for Palin) because he was the only thing standing in the way of the greater evil of Obama
one wonders what would this country would look like w/out the twin skid-marks of the Clinton & Obama regimes … & I have had no delusions about any republican ‘leadership’ at the helm … Trump is a game-changer, Perot was not
RIP Mr. Perot. You did the country no favors w/ your antics

Ross Perot walked his talk. He wasn’t a political liar. When the Presidential candidates are scoundrels, I have voted for a better choice someone else by write in. Rigged elections never get honorable results. I have watched the movie, Hollywoodized probably, but Perot did what a truly wealthy man with a moral conscience would do. At least, he didn’t try to start any wars.
Yawn, stretch, roll over, fart, go back to sleep.
He would’ve been our President Trump, before we got the real one.
