Did Ross Perot predict the future we are currently living in?

Seems like his NAFTA/Globalization predictions were mostly right.

I wonder if political history would be vastly differnt had he won as a third party and if that would have created a new option moving forward.

Guy probably got Clinton election both times.

I remember him as an old man - he was 62 in 1992.

Yes he did.
Both the Dems and the GOP were on-board with NAFTA back then. Perot was the only alternative. Rush Limbaugh supported the GOP, which supported NAFTA.
We are in the same boat today. Both major political parties support Leftist Globalism. Trump doesn't. That's why Trump is so hated.

Is he dead yet?

I believe Pat Buchanan did. He and R P had the same opinion and predicted what was ahead for US workers.

Nafta is what killed many small towns in America. The towns that had one or maybe two factories. There are tons of them in Alabama that never survived. I hunt near Aliceville and they had a Fruit of the Loom plant and another plant that made felt. Both these places had strong workforces, great downtown merchants and schools.
Its really sad what happened.

I supported Bush because I feared exactly that.
I WAS WRONG.
The truth: I watched, perplexed that Poppy Bush Inc were obviously SANDBAGGING his 1992 campaign and election. He clearly never intended to be re-elected. The "arrangement" between his "son" and himself was pre-determined.
What Perot did during his entire campaign was educate the American Public on actual issues, dynamics and principles -- how unique! (Perot also showed us how elections *should* be determined.)
Perot during that 1992 Presidential campaign shamed the entire Uni-Party and exposed them as an obvious patty-cake playing sham.

Yup. (which made me distrust Rush from that point onward)

Ross should have been the president in the 90s.
Posted on 3/13/24 at 12:46 pm to loogaroo
Yes. Perot was right about a lot.

Clinton and NAFTA destroyed many small towns in Arkansas such as Pine Bluff.

Perot would have been elected in previous decades.
But America wanted a shyster instead.

Were his predictions that we would maintain and expand our economic dominance over the world thanks to NAFTA?
