RochesterRob Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Independent POTUS candidate in 1992 that split the Republican vote enough to allow the Clinton's into the White House. For that maybe I don't want him to rest too well but I was raised to not speak ill of the dead for the most part. Edited July 9, 2019 by RochesterRob
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 I liked Ross and his charts. I know others did not, but I thought he spoke to the people. May he rest in peace. 4

reddogblitz Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 When I was a college student in the Information System Club in the early 80s we went on a tour of his EDS facility in Dallas. It was amazing. I voted for Ross twice for prez. The heck with the Clinton's, Ross was trying to win and we'd all be a lot better off if he did. 1

Trump learned a lot from his runs Ross cared too much about the media's perception of him, that would have stifled him Dana Carvey's Ross imitation of : "Can i finish? Can i finish? Can i finish? Can i finish? Can i finish? Can i finish? Can i finish? CAN!!!!! I!!!!! FINISH!!!!" was a perfect take from when AlGore ate Ross for dinner in their little debate on Larry King.

row_33 Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Perot and Wallace showed how to break the two party system Edited July 9, 2019 by row_33
Just Jack Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 I was all for Perot, and thought he would get more votes than he did, if he had not quit, then rejoined the race part way through. 2
