I think the correct answer is both.
People complain that that goof Nader took, what 2 or 3% of the vote? Most of those people probably wouldn't have voted anyway, so very few Gore votes were lost to Nader.
Perot garnished around 30% of the vote, he is the reason Clinton won, not because Clinton was really popular. And a majority of the votes that Perot got were Repub votes.
Perot hates the Bush family, because of previous business dealings I have heard.
I think Perot tried to hurt Bush first, but was suprised by how close he came and gladly would have accepted the win.
I think Perot did a great disservice to our country. I think Clinton weakened our country a lot. This socialism/political correctness cancer really took off under his watch. That in my opinion is as big of an enemy to us as terrorism is. If it weren't for this PC cancer, we would be able to whip terrorism much more easily.

Ross Perot was never serious about winning. One need only look at his vice presidential choice to know this. If the pick of the Admiral was not to scare you away from voting for him, then we should be grateful he lost. Why he hated Bush? Good question. Maybe it was just a personal thing, but if I had to pick, it was "Read my lips, no new taxes!", and we all know what happened there. Maybe Ross lost a fortune and that was how he got revenge.

Terry, between people who would make a extra effective President than G.W. Bush i'd easily checklist Perot, alongside with approximately 2 hundred,000,000 different individuals. i'd even pass so a techniques as to assert that Donald Duck would.

Perot runs for President every chance he gets, then he drops out. Must be nice to have money to burn like that.

Perot obviously thought he could lead the country without having to become involved in nasty politics. Between Clinton and the NAACP, Liberals ridiculed a good man whose running mate was a genuine American hero. "Its the economy, stupid" was just a slogan and the man who knew about finance was blown off for a playboy and his criminal wife.

I think he was serious, but he seriously hurt the country by allowing clinton to be elected, due to splitting of votes.

he was at the time, but by using his own money, he wanted to show that he didn't have lobbyists after him as others do.
