Anybody remember James Stockdale? He was Perot's running mate. I remember a televised debate with him, Quayle, and Gore. Stockdale was a war hero, and for 7 years he was brutally tortured as a POW in Vietnam, but never cracked. At the debate, he was unprepared and forgot to turn his hearing aid on. Those two jerks ran rings around him and he became a laughing stock. Perot and Stockdale still got 19% of the vote in 1992.

Of course - I am aware that things are different now. America didn't know Nixon was a criminal until AFTER he got elected.
