@@MajorMlgNoob A big reason no doubt. But the reason why Perot got so many votes was because of pissed off Republicans and right leaning Independents because Bush was a sellout.
Exactly a month before the 1992 election, a Harris poll showed Clinton at 53, Bush 36, and Perot 9. Perot at that time had just re-entered the race, having dropped out in summer, and was facing a lot of skepticism. What's interesting is that the final tally was Clinton 43, Bush 37, Perot 19. Clinton lost more...but he had such a big lead that he could afford to. Bush's die-hard support stayed pretty stable.
@@bforthigh1617 there was nothing bipartisan about bush and he was a sellout if he was bipartisan he would have won more independent votes he was a neocon tied to the military complex and he let the culture which was trending toward conservatives in regan times lean more to the left and his son did the same."working with the other side" is probably the most doumb thing you can say in politics because the ideology is what you believe is the best way to solve the problems of the nation otherwise why would you believe in it in the first place? "working with the other side" is only possible if both of the sides had the same goals but different approach which have not been the case since even befor regan's adminstration because dems dont want to play within the american principals they want to fundamentally change america into another france or canada or britain where the goverment is the one who gives and take your rights the reason is verry simple because the american principls are based on a right wing ideology and they dont like that instead the want it to be based on a liberal ideology like the other countries i named
Hey Charlotte E: That was when BIll Clinton truly transformed himself into 'Slick Willie.' it is worth noting that there is a green shades-sporting character from the old-school video arcade Q*Bert named 'Slick.'
Paul Begala (Dem Strategist) approached Jimmy Carvile (Master Dem Strategist) while he was jotting down some notes mere minutes before this performance as Bill was fixing up his tie a few feet away to say "I think he should wear my sunglasses", and both him and Bill looked befuddled. Jimmy paused then sighed, tossed his pen to the side and said "If [the choice of fashion] is from before The Beatles I'll call it, if it's after The Beatles then you call it. You can call the shots on this one" Paul Begala handed the pair over with the biggest fucking grin anyone's seen. True story.
Cool to stupid people.. and I didn't vote for this career corrupt criminal who took millions from Russia for bribes. Over 35 million dollars from Russia given to the clintons
This maybe hard to understand for people who were either too old by then or who weren't there. To someone like me, just on the cusp of starting to understand the world, this moment is burned into my memory. Watching a presidential candidate wearing sunglasses and playing the sax on late night. It changed how I viewed politicians. It was a precursor to today's social media obsessed world were everyone is constantly performing something.
Clinton was an amazing President too. Too bad he kind of effed it up by letting his hormones rage over, and then lying about it. I read somewhere that Clinton also scored one of the highest test ever for as a President. Dude was amazingly smart and cool. Maybe too cool...
@@Altafkalabihari Perot was a pre-“America First populist”, that legitimately doesn’t even make sense. Also, he drew support about equally from both parties.
@@jamescooley8312 I think you’re forgetting that he’s a politician, not a regular saxophone player. Your chops loosen up after not playing for a little
Advisor: Bill Clinton, we need the black vote to win the election Clinton: should I talk about economic policies? criminal justice reform? fund HBCU? School Choice? Advisor: No, just play the saxophone
-What does you president do? +Mine leads the counrty and improves the economy. -Mine leads the country, improves the economy, chaets on his wife and plays sax.
>improve the economy I think you meant to write "rides the wave of economic upswing that had been happening since before his tenure". President's don't control the economy, my guy.
@@Glassandcandy President Clinton oversaw a very robust economy during his tenure. The U.S. had strong economic growth (around 4% annually) and record job creation (22.7 million). He raised taxes on higher income taxpayers early in his first term and cut defense spending and welfare, which contributed to a rise in revenue and decline in spending relative to the size of the economy. These factors helped bring the United States federal budget into surplus from the fiscal year 1998 to 2001, the only surplus years after 1969. Debt held by the public, a primary measure of the national debt, fell relative to GDP throughout his two terms, from 47.8% in 1993 to 31.4% in 2001. Some credit has to be given as well
@@jeromeblue3854 and that is if you consider Eisenhower a Republican. His platform in 1956 was to: 1.Provide federal assistance to low-income communities 2. Protect Social Security 3. Provide asylum for refugees 4. Extend minimum wage 5. Improve unemployment benefit system so it covers more people 6. Strengthen labor laws so workers can easily join a union 7. Assure equal pay tor equal work regardless of gender Would republicans nowadays do at least some of the stuff the Republicans of 1956 wanted to do? Doubtful.
Connected to the masses this was the leader who could identify with the regular folks. Bush was so out of touch, the reign of the 80s was finally over.
Bush's campaign was much happier than Clinton's when Perot got back in. They thought he'd split the "anybody but Bush" vote, and they needed anything to shake up the picture. They were on course to get slaughtered. Which happened anyway, electorally.
Clinton's two favorite things in his adolescence were music and politics. In 1963, at age 17, he met, and shook hands with then President John F. Kennedy, and was thus inspired to pursue politics (And perhaps he got some tips from JFK on how to score with women in the White House, haha jk). Some wonder what would've happened if Clinton had met Elvis, rather than JFK, that summer.
@@earthball2024 I'm imagining Bill Clinton forcing Gennifer Flowers to "work late", but in this case that means listen while he rips phat sax solos for hours on end.
I am from Russia and he is my favourite American president. I don't know if he was good as a president, but it looked like he was an incredibly positive, nice and joyful person.
@@gloversasby1898If Ukraine used it’s nukes on Russia it would have resulted in Millions if not Billions of deaths, not to mention that that happened 30 years before the war happened in 1992, so there is no way that he would have known that Ukraine was going to be Invaded 30 years later, but I am already making unrealistic expectations by even thinking someone with an Anime PFP would say anything that isn’t mind-numbingly stupid.
@@gloversasby1898 He didn't. The nukes in Ukraine were a very hot potato. They _were_ located in Ukraine, but the launch codes and the command mechanism was still in Moscow, Ukraine couldn't use them. Keeping them in Ukraine and then taking an independent Ukraine under US/NATO/Western protection and integrating it into Western political and economic organizations would have created a very complicated situation, where Russian-controlled nukes would have been located in a country close to the West. Instead, the Budapest memorandums were negotiated - in essence, three identical documents, one for each country that declared its independence from Russia: Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Ukraine as well as Kazakhstan returned their nukes - which they couldn't use anyway - to Russia, and in turn Russia signed an agreement to which the US and the UK were co-signatories which guaranteed the borders and sovereignty of Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus. At that time, everybody was happy - Russia got its nukes back and the West had it in written that Russia will not attempt to invade those three countries again. Of course, we all know now how this played out eventually. Nevertheless, even if Ukraine had kept the nukes and could use them, it wouldn't have been much of a deterrent now. No country with nukes will ever use them. Nukes are just an obsolete relic of the cold war. All countries still owning nukes are well developed countries, with ambitions beyond mutually assured destruction - the prevalent doctrine during the cold war. Plus, conventional military capabilities have evolved hugely, since Little Boy, to the point that a nuclear attack against a defensive military alliance such as NATO could to a large extent be defeated with conventional weapons alone - a layered missile defense system coupled with massive and highly destructive conventional offensive capabilities. Any country launching a nuke, nowadays, would find itself to be the public enemy number one of everybody else on earth, and struck from all directions - conventionally - even if it used nukes in self-defense.
Just reminds me a bit of the bit in The Simpsons when he's walking playing his sax with the school band and someone shouts "Hey Clinton, get back to work!" and he says "Make me!"

100%. I was 12 or 13 and didn't follow much of politics. Especially cause I lived in Canada. So I only got broad strokes. But I watched Arsenio ever damn night. This is 100% the moment he won the election. He was the going to be the coolest Prez ever. I did say everything in Past Tense.
When then-AR Gov. BIll Clinton donned the shades whilst playing the tenor sax on 'The Arsenio Hall Show,' he instantaneously transformed himself into . . . 'Slick Willie.'
Bill Clinton left office 20 years ago, after 8 years in office - He is about the same age as Trump and about 3 years (and 9 months) younger than Biden. The nation needs a new generation of Leaders to step up. And the older generation in the parties need to allow them do so.
Old Age doesn’t necessarily matter. I mean of course Joe Biden is way too old and should’ve retired years ago, but look at Trump. He’s the most high energy presidential candidate in recent history. And beyond physical capacity, Trump’s policies are far better than any other young candidate. Being young doesn’t automatically make you a better candidate. I mean just look at the younger generation of New Democrats in Congress, their policies are awful.
@@bjehulk I don't think Biden is too old. He has a lot of experience and exercises regularly. Like he even went on a bike ride after winning the election.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi True he has experience, but it’s not necessarily good experience. He was a subpar Senator and a bad VP. But I would argue that he is way too old to be president. I mean look, he can barely finish his sentences without stuttering, he barely held any rallies and when it did he couldn’t stay out past like 8pm.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi its not confirmed but there are evidence from clips that he may have dementia. Democrats are probably preparing Harris to be the real president after they take "care" of Biden

This was Political genius. appearing in Arsenio gave him a cool factor and likability that won over young people and black America especially. I remember watching this with my parents at 12 years old and telling mom. Vote for him!!
My husband is a music teacher and a saxophone player. This moment is used as why being a band nerd is cool. A former president was, and it helped him get elected.
Bill Clinton was too cool to be president. That's basically what happened 🤣. They were like, "Yo. Is this dude seriously playing the sax and getting head in the office? We can't have this here. Go find us a boring guy and start a new war so we can get this money."
It was at this moment that George Bush Sr. knew that he was going to be a one-term president. Note: If Bill Clinton hadn't run for president, he could've been a famous saxophonist performing at jazz festivals and concerts around the world.
I was born in 1988 and spent my childhood in 90s Russia Times were tough but we were free and open Now I moved out of Russia at least until ongoing shit calm down Miss good old 90s
