1992 Clinton vs Perot (no Bush)

[UnselfconsciousTeff]

1992: Bush knows that the economy is a disaster. He steps out of the race and endorsed Ross Perot How would this election turn out? You pick the VPs. Discuss, with maps. List both the PV and the EV.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

I believe Perot would just run on the Republican Party ticket with a slightly more protectionist platform. Something like Bush decides not to run for re-election due to “family issues”, and beats VP Quayle, Sen. Dole, and Pat Robertson for the GOP Nomination. Bill Clinton wins the Dem. Nomination. His first choice for VP, Lee Hamilton declines and eventually endorses Perot. So, Perot/Campbell beats Clinton/Bradley.

Assuming Bush drops out during the race...

Although some Bush voters go to Clinton, most go to Perot. Clinton is pretty much toast.

Ross Perot/James Stockdale: 55.87%, 323 EV
Bill Clinton/Al Gore: 43.79%, 215 EV
Other: .34%

(Basically any state Clinton got 45% or more in, plus some others, stay, while the rest go Perot)
Perot still forms the Reform Party, who takes a sizable chunk of the House and Senate. In Perot's second term, he is able to end the Electoral College, move Election days to the first Saturday in November, and get a nationalized health care system. James Stockdale is elected President in 2000, although he isn't as popular as Perot was.

Perot/Dole - 303 EV
Clinton/Gore - 235 EV

In this case, Perot runs on a more protectionist platform as GOP nominee. However, Clinton symobizes something new and wins.

✓ Governor Bill Clinton (D-AR)/Senator Al Gore (D-TN): 322 EVs.; 50.9%
Businessman Ross Perot (R-TX)/Former Congressman Jack Kemp (R-NY): 216 EVs.; 46.3%

Clinton wins a closer race than he did.

[bagelman]

Perot would make it far closer than Bush I, but with his prowess of lying about his own stances for political gain and the fact that his opponent's a billionaires Clinton could still win it.

Um, no. That would get a huge backlash from the Jewish community and would be considered an antisemitic move to block Jews from voting, considering the fact that religious Jews can't drive in Shabbat (Saturday).

Perot wins in an upset against Clinton (see 2016)

I doubt it.
Also, why do people have him doing so well in the South?

[Mr. Smith]

Clinton/Gore
Perot/Kemp

Clinton/Gore
Perot/Kemp

I don't think he would do that badly in the south however I think this map gets the idea. Perot doing better in the west and most areas of the Northeast.

[bagelman]

I divided votes for Bush by 10, then added them to votes for Perot which had been increased by 117.64%. This produces a tie election at 49.63% each.

Clinton wins, he flips all gray states and takes DE, MA, RI, VT, and MO in that order with less than 5% margin of victory.

Perot wins, he flips CA and MI, almost certainly IA, then flips only PA at less than 5% margin of victory.
