He proposed going through the housing projects across America, door to door, and having law enforcement sweep all of the apartments for drugs and guns, and arrest everybody who was in violation of the law, effectively cutting off the bloods and crips and gangster disciples at their ankles.
When Democrats and Republicans tried to capitalize on it by saying it was unconstitutional to do sweeps on ghetto public housing, he correctly explained that there was nothing illegal about it because the ghetto public housing is paid for by the American taxpayer, and it's property of the United States government….

I can actually understand why Trump voters thought they were doing the right thing by voting for Trump…..
It's because most of them were too young and too stupid to remember Ross Perot…..
They actually thought Donald Trump represented the same thing that Ross Perot represented…..
But Donald Trump is a coward, who was too afraid to serve his country in the military, too stupid to gain a real Education (Trump's lawyers threatened legal action if any of his schools showed his grades) and Donald Trump is a SHITTY businessman, who never actually operated an honestly successful business, and was flat broke when Mark Burnett pitched The Apprentice to him. Trump has never put in a single day of hard work in his entire life.
And unlike Trump, Ross Perot wasn't an illiterate loudmouth showboat, and he wasn't an unfaithful husband and distant father.
In fact, Perot said Trump is the stupidest, most embarrassing unknowledgeable excuse for a president this country has ever had

In 1979 the Iranians took hundreds of Americans hostage.
While the American government and military dragged their feet, Ross Perot put together a team of ex-special forces mercenaries, and he said he would never ask those men to do emission that he wasn't willing to do himself, so he also suited up in tactical gear, and they flew helicopters into the compound, raided the facility, located and rescued the hostages who worked for his company, and escaped from the compound without a single person being injured or killed on either side….
And hours later, he stood on the tarmac of an airport in Turkey, where he had flown the family members in to reunite with their husbands and fathers…..
Can you imagine fat slob Donald Trump suiting up in tactical gear and going along for the mission to rescue men from an Iranian revolutionary guard prison?
That would be almost as embarrassing as watching Steven seagal pretend like he was a badass….

Its fair to say that if you can watch Perot, and you're not fascinated by his bravery, honesty, directness, politeness, knowledge, experience and professionalism… then you're a fucking idiot.

Thanks for the info/clips Johnny! I've been learning a lot about Ross all morning getting ready for work. In that Al Gore debate it was cool to see him using all those visual aids to help prove his point.

Perot was really quite a shining example of self-control, dedication, fearlessness and good old fashioned common sense.
He was like a grandfather who comes out on the back porch to break up a squabble between his two grandkids…
And instead of whipping their hides with a switch, he teaches them about fairness and unity, then takes them camping for the weekend.
I salute you, Mr. Perot

one of my favorite Ross Perot moments was during the presidential debates, where he stood onstage, looked Bill Clinton directly in the eyes, and said "why don't you tell them about all the ampules of methamphetamine you've been having delivered to your personal physician in the [Arkansas] Governor's Mansion?"
Bill Clinton got dead quiet, and the moderator quickly tried to deflect the moment by switching questions.
