If he was trying to prove he isn't a dipshit, I think he failed.
Also:
I'm guessing most people, even a lot of people here, did not get that reference.
That's because it's a reference from a vice presidential debate in 1992.

I don't even know why I remember that.
What a dipshit.

Not gonna lie, that humility/candor would've made me more likely to vote for Perot/Stockdale.
The problem with Perot/Stockdale wasn't Stockdale, it was Perot. He was nuts. He would have been almost as bad as Trump. His understanding of the economy wasn't much better either.
Perot did have a stronger charts and graphs game than mister Sharpie, though.
Also, as bad as a Perot presidency might have been, he wasn't openly hateful like Trump, nor as obsessed with breaking the system if the results didn't go his way. It was kind of a Diet Populism.
It just shows you how far we've fallen.
Trump manages to be worse than Goldwater in a variety of areas. Goldwater was supposed to be our low point (post Lindbergh)
He proved he was a dipshit when he accused a cave diver risking his life saving children of being a pedophile.
Dipshits gonna dip shit
