Ross Perot: The Chaos Candidate

Texas billionaire and political outsider Ross Perot rode a wave of economic angst to become the front-runner in the 1992 race for the White House. Self-funded and politically independent, Perot tapped into America's growing mistrust of the major parties. He lambasted Democrats and Republicans alike for irresponsible spending and bad economic policies. Meantime, the natural showman turned infomercials into a new kind of fireside chat: His pie charts and homespun humor connected with voters in a way never seen before.
Ultimately, the Perot train jumped the rails one too many times. The chaos turned voters off. But not before Perot made his priorities of lowering the debt and trade protectionism the centerpieces of our national debate.
