Just curious... In what way did Ross Perot come close to winning? I see that he got 8% of the popular vote in 1996 but I'm not seeing that he ever got an electoral vote.

    In that he got a large percentage of the total votes.

    "very close to actually winning"

    "8% of the popular vote"

    "Very close"

    Yes, that was only 25% short.

    Yeah if only 4x more than what they actually got, they totally could have won. You do understand that 25% is nowhere near "very close"

    No. I'm telling you that within 25% is close and you're trying to argue that it's not.
