PBS NewsHour, and other networks remember Ross Perot

Of course, I did not even consider voting for him, And even then I could see the delusion of "we need a businessman to run the country." But as I was listening to his ideas it dawned on me how much he sounded like Trump. A populist, promising the fix things, to make them better.

Waste of airtime IMNSHO. I guess he helped Clinton get elected, but he almost scotched the whole deal, too.

The last 3rd Party run that may have helped Dems, but I remain not so sure.
