I'm confused about the American Republican party

[LavCat]

I realized I actually didn't know anything about Ross Perot. I just checked him on wikipedia and it sounds that this guy had some good plans. It actually makes me even more negative about the system with the electoral college.

I mean this guy got 20 % of the votes......so if you add to that all the strategic Bush en Clinton votes (so the people that were scared to vote for Perot because it would increase the chance of the candidate they were against got elected) it wouldn't be strange to think that he could have reached 35 % of the popular vote and so maybe even more than Clinton and Bush.

I read a quote from him which I think also here on the lounge people often forget. '''''''Keep in mind our Constitution predates the Industrial Revolution. Our founders did not know about electricity...'''''
