      "Perot owned the only Magna Carta ever allowed to leave Great Britain. He loaned it to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and in 2007, the Perot Foundation sold it for a tidy $20 million profit."

      Perot was the most successful Independent presidential candidate in US history; in 1992 he garnered the highest share of the popular vote (18.9%) for any non-Dem or GOP candidate since Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. But oddly that's not mentioned in the Dallas Morning News obituary

          Which may suggest that Perot and his family, who heavily influenced the obituary, are eager to downplay that aspect of his legacy for whatever reason. Despite their obvious parallels, as far as I know Perot never commented publicly on Trump from 2016-onward

          He could have won if he didn’t do that nonsense of dropping out of the race and then getting back in. It made him look like an unreliable kook.

          Yes. And I hope that Howard Schultz won't get anywhere near that. (you've forgotten to mention Robert LaFollette, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace who all have won states, as well as Henry Wallace and John B Anderson, who both lost Democrats States.

          What you aren't mentioning is that as a third party candidate he was regularly cited as the reason Clinton had two terms in those elections. However no you go ahead and keep pushing your third party narrative and watch the GOP win every SCOTUS seat.
