My favorite Perot moment has to be when Incumbent prez Bush tried to call him out on being inexperienced during a debate and Ross burns him with "you're right. I don't have any experience running up a 4 trillion dollar debt". Epic.
Epic behavior.
Perot was so based
Voted for Perot twice; still don't feel like I wasted my vote.
Me too., Ditto
@gordon mathew It was either slick Willie or the Bush crime family.
same here
Same here. Would do it again.
@@tgwazu Me too.
After many years of totally ignoring politics, Ross Perot finally got me interested, in fact, he was the very first person I ever cast a vote for! RIP Ross, you were a truly GREAT American!
I was 43 the first time I voted and it was for Ross Perot. Still to today registered as a proud American independent voter. Rip Ross Perot. You were truly a great man
He warned us and we didn't listen.
Randy Marsh Voice: We didn't listen!
I feel your pain...
He’d run circles around today’s candidates
Except one.
MobileMUTMan Donald Trump, bitch
I'm really digging Andrew Yang, I like that he actually has new ideas. Unfortunately, the DNC and MSM will still end up rigging this election and leave us with some phony corporate dem that will give us 4 years of nothing.
Borp yang is done with. You can’t have open borders and a welfare state. It’s such a shame he raised his hand at the debate.
@Shawn Goodson Perot went with a non establishment candidate and ran without support from either party...trump learned from Perot's mistakes, even though he pissed both parties off during his campaign, he recognized the importance of having that support- especially in the Senate. Perot would have been shot down every move he tried to make, no matter how practical it would have been for the American people...which is sad.
The giant sucking sound of jobs headed for Mexico was my favorite quote from him !
Me too
Scott O,Donahoe he wasnt wrong
gee, I wonder why Politico left that out? certainly not from political bias, lol
Look at all the Mexican factories a stone's throw across the border and you'll see where the American jobs got sucked to! He was 100% right.
Yep
Ross would of been a great president
Have. Would have.
Yes, I agree !
@Daryl Leckt Wrong. Wrong as fuck.
Ross Perot had many good qualities. He may have stood a long shot chance in 1992 if he hadn't dropped out of the race and then gotten back in.He also seemed a little too thin skinned and paranoid to be President. Nonetheless,may he RIP.
@@phatkatracing Trump is a good guy.
In high school, I had to do a report on Mr. Perot for U.S. History. Honestly, I was not excited for it. But watching film and reading up on him, he shaped my views on politics. It's because of him that I understand that our two-party system is not perfect, and the troubles it brings to today's politics are definitely relevant. It's because of him that I understand the tremendous amount of courage it takes for people to run as an Independent. I'm very, very grateful that Mr. Ross Perot did what he did. I hope he is happy up in Heaven to know his legacy lives on with plenty of support and no one felt their vote was wasted on him. Thank you, sir.
Ross, the best candidate and we didn't listen. I'll bet Monica wouldn't have been in the Oval Office.
Why you talking bout me😮 #lewenski#famousblewdress
😉🎉Jk
Kim Kincaid *oral office.
I listened. I voted perot.
Monica would do a better job. Mainly, because she's not a senile pig.
A man who saw the warning signs before the shit hit the fan.
Rest In Peace, Sir. Thank you for your service to our Country.
He'll be missed.💞🇺🇸 Loved Ross Perot he was very intelligent, loveable, funny, and very serious all in one!
He brough excitement wherever he campaigned. He'll be missed! 💞💞💞
shut the fuck up
I cried in my car when I heard of his death..he is a real Texas Icon and his family is wonderful too😖
His best “ you can’t have an economic superpower raising chickens, people it just can’t be done.”
Great man should of became President R.i.P
Ross warned us about our National Debt in 92 ..he had a plan to fix it to raise our gas ,tax talked about we were all in it together..Honest, Real. Special
Let's not forget that Clinton raised taxes and by 1999 we had the deficit paid off and had acquired a surplus. Bush gave this money back in the form of a stimulus package shortly before 9/11. Then 9/11 happened and the deficit has sky rocketed beyond what it ever was before.
The deficit is not the problem some want us to think it is. We can pay it back if we just have the will (like we did in the 90s). All we have to do is stop dropping bombs on brown people and have a small raise in taxes and we'll pay it off in no time.
@@fladification I think you mean Clinton had a budget surplus by 1999. That is different from paying down the deficit to zero. The deficit has been constantly going up since Regan and was nowhere near paid off under Clinton or any recent president.
My Daddy voted for him the year he ran for president.too bad he never won.. RIP 💞💞💞💞
n Bernal are you on drugs rn?
I voted for Ross Perot in our mock election in high school when I was a senior but not yet 18 years old. He was a breath of fresh air! RIP
Jewels, I had just turned 18 in ‘96. The first vote I ever cast in a presidential election was for Perot.
Great man “Don’t take ten years to solve a 10 minute problem “
My favorite quote was:
"I want to get under the country's hood and fix it."
yep, I remember that well.
Have to respect the man! Bush, Clinton, and Gore, I rest my case. RIP.
If Perot would have won you and others would have viciously turned on him, created tons of conspiracy theories... multiple news networks would be smearing him every day. Whoever is president gets their reputation ruined with like half the country. Obama is a totally decent man but to the GOP he is like the anti-Christ.
Chris M obama did a lot of shit the wrong way and a hypocrite
Yugioh Pokemon trump keeps repeating the same o shit everyday.shithead
@@yugiohpokemon5285 You'd be saying the same thing about Perot or anyone if they won the presidency. Having your reputation dragged through the mud by half the nation is part of the job sadly.
What a savage, great man. Vaya con Dios, Mr. Perot, Adios.
I adored Ross Perot he was the one who woke me up! My heart breaks, may God Bless Your Soul Ross, you will always be loved & remembered as one of the Greatest Patriots of all time! RIP 🙏 ❤
I love this man he is the only reason the government started helping veteran's that they screwed during Desert Storm! I LOVE YOU ROSS! YOU WERE A GOOD MAN!!
The way he handled Gore was priceless!
Such an inspiration. May RP RIP.
I voted for him ! I wish he would have won ! Would have been a big difference in the United States ! God Bless him for trying !
Ross Perot was my very first vote in life! RIP good Sir! Thank you for your service to this Nation.
Rest in paradise. True and loyal patriot.
Worked, voted and campaigned for Perot. He would have been a great president.
I voted for this man and briefly came across him in a Dallas hospital parking lot not too long before he died and he was driving a older model Chrysler sedan. He saw me backing my 4x4 dually in and he help me get it into
a very tight spot. I didn't realize it was him until I got my truck in park and he gave me a thumbs up. He and Trump are so much a like tough, tough men.
R.I.P. H.R.P.
Had I been alive and able to vote at the time, I absolutely would’ve voted for this man! We should have a requirement that you have to be at least the level of Ross Perot’s patriotism to run for office!
My first vote as an 18 year old, and I still have no doubt he would have been great. I also voted for Ron Pul in 2008 and 2012. Both great men
Wow, the way he talked to Gore. He was the giant, and Gore was the infant in that exchange.
I agree with him then and I agree with him now he was absolutely 100% correct
They missed the very best of his speech’s when at the 1992 Presidential debates with Pres Bush Sr , Bill Clinton and Perot- Perot on his first question went into detail what NAFTA would do to our labor force and how it would damage the existing- at the time -economy which in hindsight was at the height of solid pay gains for the middle/ lower classes.
Do yourself a major favor and UA-cam that debate-- it was so spot on regarding what would eventually happen that even Hillary Clinton in her primary run for the Democratic primary admitted that NAFTA had hurt the middle class Terribly and it’s rules needed to be changed. -Exactly What Perot pointed out in 1992!!!
Trump realizes how much nafta hurt labor and how much they wanted NAFTA redone-- which is why you saw blue collar workers voting for him in 2016. Trump’s problem is - or maybe it was done purposely- his efforts to change the rules has done nothing to change the problems of labor and everything to help management and shareholders of companies.
Bringing back jobs - very little, seeing big increases in salaries- his/ republicans tax cuts didn’t do it.
What we do have now is an extra Trillion $$ in deficits as the corporations took that money and bought back their stock in order to raise their stock prices which effects bonuses of upper managers especially CEOs and stock holders.
We got a sugar high from the Republicans tax cuts which like a sugar high with kids makes them hyper and usually burns them out in a crash. Which is what economists are seeing in the stock markets.
Ken Frank well stated. I was too young to vote for him but I remember my father and uncle talking about how Perots message was undermined by the talking heads.
Dude, President Trump has done his very best to help the workers ! If you have a grip, then get those MF DemonRats out of office !
Joquita.
I’m from the same region that trump is from - NY, CN, NJ -. He’s been a fixture there in the news since the 1970s. So did those states vote for it’ ‘native son’ ? HellNo cause he’s a shyster and con artist. His casino was a bust, his business declared bankruptcy 6 times, American banks refused to fund his projects cause they couldn’t trust him, he had 4400 legal actions against him, and it’s aledged that his company sold 1300 townhouses to LLC’s of which many can’t trace back to the original owner which is something that developers in the USA don’t do due to it triggers money laundering Fed watchdogs.
Yet. For some crazyass reason we got a whole bunch of republicans who believe every crock he tells you.
Here’s the only thing you need to remember- so listen close and think about what I’m going to say -- The United States is the Financial Capital of the world. No other country is close!!! Trump’s Father and Trump have always had to be able to deal with Banks and big Insurance companies that invest their funds in Real Estate. To be good you have to be 1) marketing savvy 2) a great salesman to have them even consider your project and 3) You Have To Be Trustworthy so that they are sure they’ll get their $$$ back as promised.
Trump has the first 2 things down pat and they have definitely benefited him in his primary and as President. He can talk like a regular guy while he sits on his gold toilet and people Love that- and I don’t blame them cause 99% of politicians are bland.
But what trump doesn’t have is that 3rd factor - the Trust of the very people who control the money that his business relies on. And those are business people who go over your projects and your background and finances with a fine tooth comb .. we have some great banks and some not great banks in the USA especially prior to 2008. So that anyone with a viable plan and is halfway presentable could get $$$ to build projects with. EXCEPT. TRUMP!!!!
So what about that background makes you trust him in the WH. You may not have liked Hillary or Obama or Bill Clinton or Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio etc and that is fair But there were some acceptable candidates in 2016 for the Republicans. But you guys put in a man that depends on a German bank with deep ties to Russian mobsters to fund his business.
Would you trust someone with that background with your finances for your family??? Can you feel good that things that he does aren’t truly to benefit himself and his family???
Who saved him in the 1990’s when he was bankrupt for the last time and his business empire was on the verge of collapse. No American financial institution wanted to help him -- but Russians did- big time!!! Even Eric Trump was quoted in the news in 2015 saying that most of their money comes from the Russians!! And when you have a brokeass billionaire who’s ambitious, and has an oversized ego- even for a billionaire-. Than you have to understand that foreign dark money doesn’t just flow to you cause your a nice guy but that they want something from you and that you can be used. A scientist in those financial predicament might attract the interest of some one at the level of a Russian intelligence major to oversee their grooming to be used. But a billionaire- and a well known one -. That gets the attention of someone higher up in Russia-. Much much higher up!!!!
Yea-- you people screwed up big time on this one. Big time!
God bless you sir. May your way to heaven lack red tape and beaucracsy.
Voted for this guy. I loved his charisma. And I never believed him racist.
CRAZY about him...i attended the Long Beach convention
Loved Ross Perot. Won't forget him.
Didnt know him until recently. I did however enjoyed going to the Perot museum in Dallas. Thank you Ross Perot and may your name be remembered.
The last honest truly honest man to run, RIP Mr. Perot. I'm still writing him in.
Time has proven him right on most of his predictions. Probably the greatest president we never elected. R.I.P. Mr. Perot...
You inspired many third parties and independents, Mr. Perot.
This isn't the end.
Shame on America for not having this man as President.
God be with you. RIP.
I believe if he hadn't drop out the first time he ran and then come back he would have WON
“& there is a tooth fairy & there is an Easter bunny” 🐰🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was born in ‘93 so I didn’t experience him in my time. Joey Diaz of all people brought me here 😂. After watching video after video and considering buying his book, he’d have definitely gotten my vote at that time. Joey Diaz when he was talking about him on a podcast said something that was very true. We don’t have presidents with “presence” anymore. Like an aura of strength, prestige, competence, accountability, grit…. I could go on. Obama was the last that had some of that, and I’m saying that as a republican. He had many great qualities as a leader and representative. But nowadays, there are no JFK’s, Reagans, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, LBJ, etc. There was something so powerful and real about certain presidents that I’ve never seen in my lifetime, and the way politics are going- based on greed and lobbyists, politicians that are slaves to their ambitions, to corporations and personal economic and ego driven goals. Everything besides being the representative and mouthpiece, the shield of the American people and its values. I don’t see that figure running the greatest office in the world anymore. I just see who the party they’re in can control like a puppet and who they opt to choose to do their bidding for them when they get their candidate. Right now it’s just a loop of corruption and financial interests of not the whole, but the few. I’m republican but only because one side has values I believe in more than the other side. I’d be independent but the unfortunate truth is that at this date in time “sitting on the fence” and casting your vote for an independent or libertarian doesn’t accomplish anything because there’s just not enough people that are either aware or because of their age still believe in a black and white two party system. So I vote republican because even if I don’t agree with much of what the basis of it is, I have to choose the lesser of two evils (in my opinion) with the one vote I get. I pray for our country and that we aren’t too far gone and turn into the ruins of the Roman Empire that near the end was plagued by the same issues we’re facing now.
This man was an Eagle Scout that did many great things and this Tuesday,my troop in Boy Scouts(troop 100) discussed this sad death
"Did you see the debates last night? Free candy, free candy everywhere ..."
God rest your soul Sir. And thank you. You have taught me so much about the two-party duopoly in our great country. Business as usual should never be. May Angels take charge over thee and guide you on to heaven's golden shores forevermore.
David Davidson beautiful... thanks😄
@@mickeymouse6343 good morning! Thanks very kindly. Be well.
I voted for Perot in 1992. He was the greatest and still is. RIP my friend
Was thinking about him recently. I really liked him.
I look back now and OMG...he would of been Sooo Much better than what we Got!!! RIP Ross
I believe he would have made a great President. I was ready to vote for the man.
Yep....I voted for Ross Perot!
And I'd do it again.... Wow just found out he has passed!
Rest in peace ROSS PEROT!!!
I was surprised America didn’t vote him as president. RIP Ross Perot
we should have listen too him
ross, if you are up there
we are sorry
thank you for trying
Ross Perot was a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a serving Navy officer. He got rich by founding a company that did practical things in the field of technology. Ted Koppel called him weird on national TV, and his running mate, a former four-star admiral, brain glitched during the VP debate. Perot got no electoral votes. Only one generation in history could have not had it together enough to allow Donald Trump to become president. I never voted for Ross Perot. But I thank him for his service. He rammed the ramparts at sea and did what it took to keep our country safe. He also advanced the state of technology.
loved him. i don't remember if i voted for him. but because of him i am independent. Had he gone to the republican he'd had won, just like President Trump did.
TRUE PATRIOT !!!!!!!!
Put together HIS OWN invasion force !!- Went down to S. America !
Rescued them all !!
As a fellow TeXaN !!
My FAVORITE line !! BY FAR !!- Debate w/bill Clinton !!- Told Him He was nothin but a chicken plucker from Arkansas !!!!
Now we have a “True Grit President”,who is cut out of Perot’s Shadow !!
RIP !
🙏🙏🎶🎶🎶🇨🇱👍🏼🖖🖖
God I miss this man! RIP You would have been the the greatest President for America and for the world, because what we do here always ends up affecting the world. Peace.
Ross seen things before the average person and boy was he right . I have nothing but the highest respect for Ross and he would of been a great President . This man was real , honest and had tonnes of compassion .If it wasn't for Ross ,we wouldn't have President Trump. Just think for a second , how he fought the career DC elites and then laughed at him, now we have a similar President . God Bless you Ross , rest in peace and your going to be remembered forever.
I loved this guy, voted for him, so long ago! he is awesome!
Would have been a great president.
A no-nonsense leader not one to compromise.
Would have been a great prez!
Opportunity knocked, too bad we missed our chance. Guarantee we wouldn’t be in the shape we’re in had he won.
Perot was a great man and would have made a great President.
Politico hammered Perot during his run.
Politico didn't exist until 2007.
@@katsiegel451 the Washington star was horrible to Perot. Same propaganda rag. Different stripes.
I suggest you go to an old fashioned library and look up the Washington star. Then search for Perot articles.
ROSS PEROT: "George Bush chastised Bill Clinton for confusing a scud missile with a patriot missile. Well guess what? The missile in question wasn't a scud or a patriot ... it was a TOMAHAWK missile! Now that's just SAD!"
He was a great man. I pray he is in heaven with Father God. If we had only listened to him.
I voted for him twice. When Trump was running, I often compare the two. I'll vote for trump again.
Absolutely. Its going to be a tough ride with the DemonRats, so hang on and stay the course.
#TRUMP2020
He was the man that motivated me to become a naturalized citizen to vote. He spoke the truth about the faults of the Washington establishment but, unfortunately, in the process of castigating the economic failures of the GHW Bush, his weakness to end prematurely Operation Desert Storm and the S&L financial scandal, Mr. Perot split the Conservative vote and got us Bill Clinton.
If only we had ranked-choice voting and abolish the Electoral College back then. Ross could have gotten quite a few more votes had the system not been biased in favor of the two parties.
How much different - and better - would we be today had this man been elected in 1992? Immeasurably better.

RIP Ross Perot.
When I was 18, I voted for this guy..
Tv interview show host Larry King said that his 1992 show NAFTA debate between Ross Perot (contra) and VP candidate Al Gore (pro) was his most memorable ever: Perot forecast that NAFTA would create "a great sucking sound of jobs leaving USA" and he proved right, a Nostradamus. Gore smugly soothed, "if NAFTA proves bad for the US, we can cancel it in six months." Twenty-seven years and countless US jobs and high end, high tech, US tax base manufacturing and military-might industries lost later to NAFTA, CAFTA and like unfairly corporatocratic and ecology decimating trade agreements later, Gore has abjectly avoided, amnesiaed the subject, deserted his promise to cancel NAFTA.
Hugs and kisses 🎉❤
I was 18 in 1992....Ross was my first Presidential Vote.
Ross Perot was the greatest president we’ve never had.
I was too young to vote then but old enough to remember him and his craziness. I would've voted for him then, not sure he would've done much for some of my concerns but he was then what Drumpf thinks of himself today. And Ross had what Dump doesn't... Class, intelligence and business success.
Your opinion only ! Mine counts just as much and I absolutely love President Trump and all he has done for this country! If I were to guess, you voted Bernie the spcialist or Jill Stein the lefty Antifa Nazi. #TRUMP2020
You accidentally mis-spelled "TRUMP" . Now sit back down.
@@5josullivan No, it is demonstrable that Dump doesn't have class, intelligence or business success. Those are not my opinions, those are facts. I was only stating them.
@@TowerBeachPCB I have a really hard time with it. Not sure why I can't get it right.
He was literally the front runner at one point, he just for some reason dropped out and came back again. If he didn't do that, i honestly think he would have been president
@Mark James Reagan started that
WHAT!! Perot's memorable lines and it didn't include his "I'm all ears" joke from the debate!!!! how terrible. that was his best one liner
God bless Ross! I loved the man! He was a breath of political fresh air.
Still would like to have the include his camel negotiations story.
Great man!
I voted for this guy.
The idea of a successful businessman in the White House made so much sense back in 1992. I really liked Perot. His running mate, Admiral James Stockdale, not so much! He had to have a question repeated during a debate because he’d shut his hearing aid off! Didn’t he fall asleep during one? I can’t remember!
He was Donald Trump...before Donald Trump!
The Don played the system. Ross tried to break it. I respect both for their efforts and sacrifice. God bless us all!
I loved seeing Ross Perot in the ‘92 elections. Too bad our system is set up for only two parties (effectively). So happy that Trump ran as a Republican. No way he could have won as 3rd party candidate. Totally thought of Ross when I voted for Trump in 2016 (and will think of him again in 2020).
Yep !
Voted for Ross 2 times myself. If he were able to run again he would have vote number 3.
My dad loved him!!

I really liked this man. He made sense to me, too bad I wasn't old enough to vote at that time.
He 2:04 has brilliant...truly.
Trump. Make Perot Proud Again!❤

I didn't vote for him but I always admired the guy. He was a bit of a nut, but geniuses often are. He funded his own rescue operation to get an employee out of Iran during the hostage crisis. He was always active in locating MIA's from Nam. He was the first one to explain the numbers concerning entitlement spending with those pie charts (loved those charts). And he showed us what a problem the 2 party system was with all of the crony capitalism. In effect, he was the precursor in many ways to Trump. RIP
