re: #318 Lidane

The deep divisions among the right are best embodied by Perot’s candidacy in 1992. Looking back, he was the first Tea Party candidate. Perot drew almost exclusively from the GOP’s voter base. It wasn’t a coincidence. He exposed the divisions between the party establishment and the reactionary base they’d been trying to control to win elections. It’s only gotten worse since then.

Perot was George Wallace, without the white sheet and cross burnings.
