Probably responsible for William Jefferson Clinton, but in all the memorial coverage I’ve seen nothing about his finest hour.

RIP Ross Perot

RIP, He gave me someone to vote for rather than the first Bush after he lied about raising taxes.
He was very prophetic in his views on NAFTA. It was the very "great sucking sound" that he predicted it to be.
It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Perot could have won a term or two.
Don, I like your posts, but I gave up taking exception to Politicians lying about taxes back when Kennedy was in Office; and I wasn't even old enough to vote back then.
My Brother ran for a municipal seat in a large NJ city in 1968, as Republican. He garnered the largest percentage in history for a Republican candidate in that city, and he still didn't get enough to gain the seat on the City Council (free for all...).
I was very busy in his campaign, but it ended up disgusting me. Nobody should ever watch Ketchup or Sausage being made up close and personal.
Doubly so for politics. Expect the corruption; just don't stand so close you can smell it.

His treatment of his team in Tehran was world class...
His ego-driven run for President has caused us 2.5 decades of misery. For that I'll never forgive the jug-eared little egotist.
BTW, he was a legend at IBM... for defrauding the company massively by making his entire sales quota on the first day of the year... sometime in the '60s. But the 'sale' was a fraud and the buyer basically bailed But Perot took his massive commission and started his own company... to compete with IBM.
I don't question his entrepreneurship. But he was not all beer and skittles. He was a conniving egotist who cost America a ton.... because as much as I came to later not like Bushes and dynasties... GHWB was a damn sight better than Bubba and Killary. Who would still be trading cattle futures in Little Rock if not for Ross.
