    The structural argument for Perot costing Bush the election is necessarily speculative, but at the end of the day, the best we can say is that he *may* have cost him the election & he benefitted from Bush's vulnerabilities.https://twitter.com/gpurcell/status/1148617534775672832 …

    My assumption has always been that Perot cost Bush the election because Team Bush turned its fire on him for about three months when they could have sunk Clinton with the Flowers stuff for good. And Perot's attacks were always on Bush, not Clinton.

        My assumption has been that after 3 terms and end of Cold War, a GOP win in 92 was not likely.

        I'm definitely shaped by my lived experience on this one. Listened to Perot at the National Press Club on the radio while driving around as a city inspector. I'd voted for Bush in 88 but thought Perot made a lot of sense. 1/2

        When he entered the race I was excited by him and turned off of Bush. When it became clear he was, well, crazy, I switched to Clinton. 2/2

        Exit polling at the time revealed Perot pulled evenly from Bush & Clinton. Perot won no electoral votes. Ran strongest in TX and FL which Bush won anyway. There's always some unknowable Butterfly Effect stuff, but I believe Perot costing Bush the election is a myth.

        I agree, but didn't it also keep Clinton from winning 50% of the vote? I remember hearing Carville say that it didn't allow them to assume a mandate.
