Unfortunately the media establishment discredited Ross Perot by painting him as "nutty" and focusing on his mannerisms, rather than what he was saying. Seeing Bush's and Clinton's smirks during the debates are embarrassing, and did nothing but baselessly discredit the man and his ideas.
The media did the same to Ron Paul by framing him as a loon and someone to laugh at.
This same strategy by the mainstream media backfired miserably, and quite hilariously with the unfortunate election of Trump.
