You mean that thing that hasn't happened since Ross Perot in Texas 30 years ago?

Surely his Reform Party is still around after having their funding boosted, right? Nope, they dissolved in '97 after doing even worse at the polls in '96 than in '92.

That's simply not true. The Reform Party got Jesse Ventura elected governor of Minnesota in '98.
