One of the best runs at a possible third party candidate.

I just know there is a good joke here involving a giant sucking sound.

RIP Mr. Perot.

He was a very interesting little man.  I wonder if the guy he put in the White House will go down with POS Pedophile Epstein

I was at a gala one January 20th evening at a high top table with a professional driver talking shifter kart racing and the guest of honor approached us and informed us that he had a golf cart that he named Perot, as sometimes it would run and other times it wouldn't.

He also kicked over a few applecarts at GM in the 80s, to Roger Smith's great displeasure. They should have listened to him.

I voted for him, mostly because I wanted the entire country (world) to pick up on his crazy style of public speech.

I kinda forgot about this guy- though he was the first independent political candidate I had ever heard of. Interesting man.

Since he was running in the 1992 election, I was far too young to vote or dig into the issues, so I only remembered him as a guy that was part crazy Texas business tycoon and part cartoon character. In kids' eyes back then, he was a walking, talking parody, and many of the popular shows/cartoons lampooned him big time.

I had absolutely no idea on his dealings with GM until very recently. He was way more interesting than I could have imagined. RIP.

I read his book but was to young when he was running. I like that he simplified everything as opposed to politicians today that complicate legislation and make it 1000's of pages. Of course Dana Carvey's impression on him was hilarious. RIP
