      "If the people send me to Washington, the first thing I'll do is study that agreement...."
      You're debating it, right now; you've held a very vocal very public position that it is a bad agreement and yet you're going to wait till your elected to 'study' it'?
      THAT kind of empty carnival barker showmanship is why they tend to exclude marginal candidates. We saw the same thing with Trump be he was so deliberately bellicose that the 'good' people of the U.S. couldn't resist his appeal. The fact is though, that he didn't KNOW anything about anything. Like Perot, he had a lot of well-developed opinions based on opinions, but not much more.
      That's where the similarity ends. Perot was sharp, incisive and probably a very capable businessman. I believe he was also ethical and held a moral compass of some kind (if dominated by narrow business perspective), while Trump had and has no ethical or moral grounding at all.

Even financed one of Steve Jobs ventures. I dare say he was one of the most intellegent men ever to run, we would have been well served with him as POTUS. Don't let his Texarkana drawl fool you.

Every word he spoke during those debates were 100% correct and honest. While the other two did nothing but, try to make him look foolish and idiotic. Mr. Perot was the smartest, most direct and honest person on that stage. Our country would be in a lot better position financially if Perot would’ve won in 92’.

    This is where Americans in general need to be held responsible for their perceptions trumping cognitions; I remember the atmosphere very well during that debate as it was the first time I voted for a president. I recall the amount of ridicule Perot took in the media. Why was he ridiculed? 1) he was short. 2) He had an accent that people associate with ignorance. 3) anything he said was then filtered through those 2 perceptions and thus had zero credibilty. That "sucking sound" comment was fodder for years. And yet.....
    Its up to you to understand what is a social perception versus what is a real qualifications. You will need it for dating/marriage. You wil need it for work in assessing who you will work for and who you will not. You will need it as a human being. Smiles and quips are cheap. Yet people take them like their gold. Has nothing to do with competence only our perception of competence.

Ross was leading in the national polls in July. He is also the last Presidential candidate to be leading in both Texas and California that late in the cycle. He lost because he stopped campaigning in late July then started up again in October. You simply cannot do that if you want to win. You need to be on the trail every single day until election day.

Anyways, to make a long story short, if he had continued to run for president, not so pleasant things would've occurred during his daughter's upcoming wedding. I think there may have been some other issues as well but he was not willing to risk his own life and family to become president.

Think how much better off all America would be right now had Perot had 8yrs.in the driver's seat instead of the betraying trash that sat in his place. Perot would likely be listed along with Trump and Reagan as the only great modern day Presidents we've had since they shot JFK down.

      +JusticeNature Yes! It is so obvious to people like you and me, but so many people are so easily fooled into believing a caricature of the man put forth by the dishonest media! I was only 9 years old during this election, but I remember rooting for him the whole way. I doubt I understood anything about the policies being discussed, but I just knew I liked him and that he was a good and honest man.
      To answer your question, the media, which is the 3rd wing of the political establishment, convinced people that Perot couldn't win, thus they voted for 1 of the other 2 candidates. Exit polling revealed that an additional 19% of the electorate would have voted for Perot had they believed he could actually win. This would have given Perot 37%, which would have given him more than a 50% chance of winning in a 3 way race. The public got fooled, and a serial rapist was elected President of the United States of America.

      The President is just one man. If he's not affiliated with a party, then those party hacks in Congress, the administrators in his own departments (previously appointed by his predecessors), the justices (previously appointed by his predecessors) and the media (paid by the party hacks) will make it impossible for him to do anything he promises to do.
      This is why the independent Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders campaigns both decided to align themselves with a major political party. Before then, Trump had changed affiliation 11 times as an adult (and even ran as a Reform candidate) while Sanders was a member of the Socialist party and then was an independent. It's also why Rand Paul is a Republican, rather than a Libertarian. Without party affiliation, you have no power to do what you promise to do.

    In many, many ways, Trump sounds a LOT like Perot

      They both sound like Non-Politicians. I like that.

      Rick Hibdon. I think the word that best describes their sound would be goodness and honesty. Trump,Reagan,&Perot are/have all been true American Patriots,&the first two are/have been Great Presidents.

      Both know how corporate business is run internationally and profit margins.

      Perot is an Honest man unlike Trump. There is no comparison. A Naval Academy graduate and computer billionaire vs a bone spur rip-off and bankruptcy expert.

    “The giant sucking sound” God, he was right.
    I was in my teens & a young Libertarian at the time. I believed that story that globalization of manufacturing was going to make everyone rich. A college level job for all, a new car in every driveway & a big house for everyone. All we had to do was get government out of the way.
    25 years later. God, it hurts to be this wrong.
    You were right, Mr. Perot.

    I voted for perot also. however, I blame him and larry king for the rise of the sleazy clintons. if he had gotten in and stayed in, ok. if he had gotten out and stayed out, ok. but doing what he did, and saying what the reason for it was, made him look flighty. had he got in and stayed in, i believe he would have been elected!

    Ross Perot.......the greatest president that never was. The economic landscape would have benifited for all of North America and we'd all be better off Today. I wish Canada could have had him as our Prime Minister.
