Ross Perot hated President Bush for a number of reasons and went after him on an independant ticket and amazingly, garnered about 1/3 of the voters, leveling all three candidates.
Bill Clinton, with the help of Ross Perot, defeated President Bush. Republicans criticized Perot, believing his conservative platform appealed to Republican and swing voters and effectively gave the election to Clinton. Moreover, with the election loss, President Bush would no longer be actively involved in the Middle East peace process that he initiated 12 months earlier in Madrid, Spain. Perot spent the astronomical sum, (in those days), of 65.6 million of his personal fortune on the 92 campaign.
