Ross Perot, self-made billionaire, renowned patriot and two-time independent candidate for U.S. president, has died after a five-month battle with leukemia.
He was 89.
The pioneer of the computer services industry, who founded Electronic Data Systems Corp. in 1962 and Perot Systems Corp. 26 years later, was just 5-foot-6, but his presence filled a room.
"Describe my father?" Ross Perot Jr., his only son and CEO of the Perot Group, asked rhetorically in an interview. "Obviously a great family man, wonderful father. But at the end of the day, he was a wonderful humanitarian.
"Every day he came to work trying to figure out how he could help somebody."
Perot was diagnosed with leukemia in February. A massive secondary infection the next month nearly killed him, according to the family.

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.
Perot was on the money with a lot of what he was saying.
Donald Drumpf was the 2016 version of Ross Perot, in the sense that he was perceived to be an outsider, was embraced by folks who tend to be "nationalistic," small government, and libertarian-leaning.
That tells you all you need to know about how completely DUMBED DOWN America has become over the last 25 years.

Unfortunately he did not have the "fuck you" attitude that The Trumpster has and he flinched. I believe that if he hadn't, he could have pulled it off.

It's a joke to think an independent has a chance against the Scylla and Charybdis of the GOP and Dems.
You're delusional to think you have a functioning republic.
That was true until the crazy orange guy walked into the GOP clubhouse and flipped over the party leaders' table.

You got trolled into posting something idiotic.

Bullshit. You threw an Alzheimer’s fit. Take yer pills, old guy...
Didn't you see how badly this worked out for Jayne?
Find a website to post so that you can try to get over on poptart, link everyone to the site, have poptart point out to your very dumb @ss that you -----> got trolled.
Flail, lie, sputter, post utter nonsense, and pretend that you got over.

That Alzheimer's you're suffering from must be a real bitch, old kook.
I admit to posting a bad link I didn't completely read. A mistake and I own it.
You, however, have posted link after link, Youtube video after video that were fraudulent, amateur or just plain lunatic.
Not once, when called out, would you ever admit you got your old ass handed to you. Over and over again.

You were not that specific. You didn't even imply that.
I just gave you a pair of links showing it can happen.
So you've got nothing.
Should have just said so, Jayne.
Not content with the humiliation you endured last week when you introduced flat earth into a thread, you again introduce "flat earth" into a thread... and proceed to again -----> cr@p the bed.
