Billionaire philanthropist and independent presidential candidate
Ross Perot is dead at 89, CNBC has confirmed.
Perot, who ran for president in 1992 and 1996,
died after a five-month battle with leukemia,
a representative for the Perot family said.

I remember watching Perot run for President. I liked what he had to say. In the 1992 debate, he said
the shifting of U.S. jobs to Mexico created a “giant sucking sound.” He knew what he was talking about.
NAFTA did not live up to the hype. A 2014 study on the effects of NAFTA on US trade jobs and investment
found that between 1993 and 2013, the US trade deficit with Mexico and Canada increased
from $17.0 to $177.2 billion, displacing 851,700 US jobs.

In October 2018, President Donald J. Trump struck a deal with Canada and Mexico on an updated version of the pact,
to be known as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA.

Ross Perot may not have been "presidential material", but who is?
He was more than qulified and I believe he would have
done a great job. He gave a damn. He was a man of integrity. The better qualified men and women in this country
never end up running. They don't want the job. Being elected President of the United States is a Crucifixion waiting to happen.
Men like Ross Perot are a dying breed. This is a shame and a national tragedy.
