I was in high school when Perot ran for President and I was a huge fan. I remember liking how he wasn’t a politician and therefor looked at the problems our country had from a different point of view.
This was the first time I had ever watched political debates; because I wanted to hear him speak. He was so different.
I also was a huge Apple and then Next fan at that time too. I sent him an email asking if he could help me get a Next computer :-)
His books are good reads if you ever get the chance.
RIP.

This is what many had desired when they propelled the current 'billionaire' non-politican to President. Comparing Ross Perot to Trump is like comparing a Neuroscientist to a Snake-Oil Salesman though.
- brighter2morrow 7y agoFunny enough, after Ross Perot the reform party's next presidential nominee was Donald Trump, who ran on a Perot-esque platform and was the first major presidential nominee to support gay marriage
