      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."

          IIRC he was extremely light on proposals and policies until he reentered the race in the fall

          I was a teenager then and couldn't vote, but hindsight wise, I would have been a Perot voter in 92 after Bush's read my lips, gun control, and trade issues. I wasn't a big fan of the Iraq War either, although the execution was superb from an American standpoint.

          In order for the center to hold, it is sometimes necessary to take a side.

          Perot made the deficit his number one issue & I voted for him on just that.

          True story, my shortest job ever. Was hired to by the Perot campaign to be Political Director for Wyoming on July 15, 1992. Driving from Buffalo to Casper next day to start my new job, hear on NPR that Perot has suspended his campaign.
