Just curious... In what way did Ross Perot come close to winning? I see that he got 8% of the popular vote in 1996 but I'm not seeing that he ever got an electoral vote.
In that he got a large percentage of the total votes.
"very close to actually winning"
"8% of the popular vote"
"Very close"
...
Yes, that was only 25% short.
Yeah if only 4x more than what they actually got, they totally could have won. You do understand that 25% is nowhere near "very close"
No. I'm telling you that within 25% is close and you're trying to argue that it's not.
He would need at MINIMUM 3x+ votes more than he got in order to win. That isn't close.
We seem to agree entirely on how math works, yet disagree entirely as to how easily 25% of voters can change their minds.
