In 1992, billionaire Ross Perot came along, spent $62 million of his own fortune, ran on a third party line, and received 19 percent of the vote, helping to destroy the second term bid of George H. W. Bush, and electing Bill Clinton to the White House.
Now 24 years later, it is more and more likely that Donald Trump, a billionaire, willing to spend unlimited money, is likely to break from the Republican Party when he is unable to win the Presidential nomination, and run on a third party line and win about that same percentage of the vote!
In so doing, he will help elect the Democratic nominee, likely Hillary Clinton, to the White House.
What an irony if both Clintons win the Presidency due to a split in the Republican Party spurred by an ornery billionaire!
This scenario is looking more likely by the day!
