    Yes, we see that now. At the time, I was 21, GOP had held the WH since I was 9 & Bush was running on a great foreign policy record, so losing a 3-way race to a guy w/43% of the vote felt wrong. W/different choices in office, HW could have eked out a win the way Truman did in 48.https://twitter.com/jasonhsv/status/1148628978644729857 …

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

        As infuriating as I found Perot's candidacy at the time, he represented the purest positive case for a third-party candidate: that there were perspectives & proposals simply not being represented by either major party, rather than "I'd go further" or "I'd find the middle ground."

        He also had a 71% approval rating before his infamous “read my lips, no new taxes” and then imposing new taxes.

        Bush would have won. Perot opened up a front against Bush on the right (more or less). The election was a referendum on Bush and literally everyone had a reason to oppose him. As a result, Clinton got very little media scrutiny. The attacks on Bush from the media were relentless.

        Maybe just one different choice: read my lips.
