Ross Perot did not win in '92 but his economic plans and his 30 minute speeches to the American people did resonate with a good amount of American and independent thinking voters. George Bush would have easily won that election with an 89% approval following the Gulf War but he was done in by the '92 recession and the fact that he broke his "No new taxes" pledge.

@Barefooter25 I think his high water mark was 19% in Kansas. I think Bush had squandered the end the cold war and blew a super chance to move the entire world to a new era that wasn't based on east-west distrust, than his reasoning for invading Panama sounded too contrived to justify invading a heavily populated city.

@Heartlander Since he was already in Panama with all those forces, he had a great opportunity to snatch the Panama Canal while arresting Noriega. Another squandered opportunity.
