What kind of President would Ross Perot have been?

[JL24]

Always wondered how the country would look if Perot had pulled it off.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

This has been on my mind for years.

 

[SlipKidVol]

Me too. He had momentum until he got out then back in. And terrible VP choice

 

[Velo Vol]

Relatedly, would Admiral Stockdale have been one of the greatest VPs in history?

In hindsight, he probably would have been amazing for our country.

Perot would likely have been an excellent President, and his campaign gave us some really entertaining SNL skits (way back when SNL was actually funny).

 

[volinbham]

the Iranian hostage extraction was a ballsy move

 

[volinbham]

hadn't seen this one

hadn't seen this one

Wow. I didn’t remember this one. The liberals on SNL were ahead of their time. This skit references the Female Circumcision Party.

Ross pulled 20% of the vote ( my wife and i included) so he gave us Slick Willy. And we all know how that worked out

Not so clear that Billy boy won bc of him

Did Perot Spoil 1992 Election for Bush? It’s Complicated.

He would without a doubt been better than the SFB idiot we have now.

 

[MurphyVol]

I think he would have been very frustrated. Dealing with Congress vs running a company would have been a nightmare for him. I think this is why people like Jamie Dimon won't run for President.

Also, if he had actually been able to pull off his .50 cent per gallon gas tax he probably would have had a revolt in his hands.

 

[Zues1]

He had charts galore and was willing to look under the hood and fix the problem.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Both parties would have hated him. No meat left on the bone after his budget.

No NAFTA.
No foreign wars.
Energy independence.
An actual domestic economy.

???

Operation Eagle Claw???

And Bush Sr. would have been better?

Pretty low bar.

He would have had Newt's 1994 congress in the latter part of his first term.

And LOL at Jamie Dimon as POTUS. Fox in the henhouse.

 

[midnight orange]

He would have been impeached for reasons.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Ross was all ears..

I doubt Bush Sr would have been getting beeeejaaaaays in the Oval Office. Plus Barbara outclassed the Hildabeast by a country mile.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Had to look it up. RP passed away at the age of 89 in 2019. Totally forgot he was no longer living. RIP good sir.

OK
