US Elections - the third candidate

[filthy1980]

Ross Perot got 18.8 % of the vote back in 1992 which translated to 0 electoral votes. Clinton won 43% and got 370 electoral votes.

The odds are stacked against an independent candidate making any inroads worse than they are here.

Perot spent Billions to get that 18% I think he even bought an hour of prime time tv space and went through the whole federal reserve system and how it's been screwing the US since its inception

I think after that the Dem & Rep parties tightened the rules to make sure a crazy 3rd candidate couldn't spend a fortune and upset the apple cart again

guess they never saw the potential in one of their own parties being co-opted by a 3rd party crazy
