Low chance as in, “you have a very low chance of avoiding war with this asshat”
No chance as in, “You gon have war”
Both suck

Perot wasn’t on the ballot to take votes away from Bush Sr. He walked away months before. Bush lost because Republican voters stayed home instead of voting for him.

Perot kept waffling, but he was on the ballot and took ~19% of the popular vote. Though as another poster posted, it looked like his votes took equally from the Bush and Clinton vote.

The couch? There’s not a spare bedroom in the White House?

Might be hard to sleep in a spare bedroom discreetly…
I’m sure there was, but it wouldn’t be much of an act of atonement if he was sleeping in comfort.
(Of course that’s assuming the story wasn’t just made up so voting public would think their marriage was bound by conventional rules of fidelity. For all I know the Clintons have an open marriage and the only thing that bothered Hillary was the fact he was caught.)

It’s a step towards making him look like a bad Trump. (Xenophobic and bigot not running in that vernacular’s canon.)
Fighting 2 fronts? Why that’s like Moldova^W American Farms! Both having to prove she’s a better Téa Leoni (character) and a better gambling and entertainment destination hotelier (hooboy?) is a fine frame to be pitching. Make it past Arm Day, Dems and routed Rs! [Smilercise mouthguard smiley]
As for profiling relationships; if she proves she’s a better Jesuit or superstable nucleide than Trump, that’s also fine. Maybe that’s a rabbit hole the press would mine. America’s Bindery Glue; The USA’s Next Executive Toner and Serum.
I would vote Mike Nesmith for President if Mickey Dolenz was his veep…

Everyone is familiar with the Overton Window as applied to political ideas, but this is the Overton Window as applied to politicians themselves. I remember watching Bush II get elected. The world outside America were laughing, thinking, are they really going to elect that idiot? He was a drunk driver, he was basically hooked on coke into his 40s, he had been handed business after business to run by his rich family and ran them all into the ground. A failed oil business. A failed oil business
America elected everyone’s dumb cousin who can’t get his life together as president. Because it just wasn’t thinkable - inside America - that that was what was happening. In Canada, just a few years later, we elected a someone who I thought was a Dick Cheney wannabe. Probably 90%+ Canadians would have told you Dick Cheney was the devil but we elected him as our own leader. Of course I think in the end I was wrong and he wasn’t Dick Cheney, he wasn’t a Machiavellian profiteer at all, just a bitter control freak. He had run for student council president in highschool so that he could disband student council. Having failed at that, he did the same thing to Canada.
We just think there is some screening process that keeps psychos, idiots and the no-contact-with-reality club out of high office. It turns out that keeping those people out of office is our job, but we just assume someone else is taking care of it for us.
I think that’s a what we call a war-hawk.
Plus, I think sleeping on the couch is some kind of culturally accepted penance for wrongdoing.
