I tend to think Ross Perot (1992) was really the last chance for the USA to see the truth, though also it set the stage for Ron Paul to be slighted in full view, by his own party and as we saw, no one cared, literally, no one who mattered cared…
Thus when Ron Paul attempted to run as president? It simply was over with by that time. Ross Perot was a very real attempt by a man who saw the truth and his support scared the system into action. Never again would a person garner 20% or more independent support and never would anyone but the chosen be elected. It has held true and it started in earnest with Kennedy, but hiccuped when Perot stepped into the picture…
I remember being so pissed that Perot lost. He was a real chance to have a real man whom could run a business and see the future financially. I said then, “The USA is naught but a business and it is failing as that business.”
