Bill Clinton was elected because of that guy.



Yup which also resulted in Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and a complete reshaping of the American Political and Media scene

Larry, can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish, can I finish, can I finish?

1992 was such a crazy political year. A Clinton and a Bush running for office... just like 2016. Always liked Ross, but I thought he was a little whacky and flip-floppy. And Admiral Stockdale as his VP pick was comedy gold.

My brother worked for one of his companies many years ago and said he'd show up unannounced in the corporate cafeteria and eat and visit with the employees.

Seemed to be a real good guy that this world would be a much better place if there were more people like him.

RIP

probably made a lot more from the development of the Alliance airport area, and believe me, that has less to do with smart business tactics than having political connections and politicians that owe you big time favors

Senior Bush lost because he broke his pledge to never raise taxes, Read my lips no new taxes was his campaign slogan. He allowed the Dems to talk him into raising the same taxes he swore not to raise.




Nothing changes. The democrats create a problem, conservative tries to fix it and are ridiculed relentlessly by MSM.

Didn't the CIA, or some group, show up on is lawn? When Perot mentioned it, they labeled him a "crack pot".
After the "Russia helped Trump" narrative it changes the possibilities.
