George H.W. Bush 1992 The Changing of the Guard
Randal Wallace Presents : "George H. W. Bush" a five season look back at his extraordinary life, career, and his single term as President of the United States. A term that saw the high point of American Leadership around the world. In our 14th Season , we will look back at one of the most exciting election years in history. It should have been easier, George Bush had freed the world of Communism and managed the fall of a superpower without having the world fall into violent chaos. A truly remarkable achievement in World History. At one point George Bush had a 91% approval rating, By the end of 1992, he would lose his reelection bid. This is that story and in it you will see the foundational beginnings of the very "America First", "Make America Great Again" movement that so dominates our politics in 2024 in the form of Donald Trump. We will watch the changing of the guard as the Vietnam Generation leads a campaign in 1992 to transfer power from the generation of leadership that won the Cold War, to those who protested the Vietnam War in the streets of America . In the forefront of that campaign we witness arguably the greatest campaigner to ever set foot on the trail in Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton. We invite you to come along with us on a wild ride through the high points and low moments of modern American History, in an effort to show the citizens of today that we are an amazing and resilient nation.

We have finally arrived to the final day on the trail for George H. W. Bush , Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot. It had been an election for the history books, as hard a fought battle as I had ever witnessed in my then short lifetime. You could not have asked for more formidable candidates to face each other than the three men who had shared the national stage together over the past year. Each with enormous strengths and e...
Few offices in the history of our government have produced more harm, to more people, more often, and more efficiently that the office created in 1973 to investigate the Watergate Scandal. The Special Prosecutor's statute stayed on the books the rest of the 20th century and was used to wound the reelection campaign of George H. W. Bush, and then cripple the final years of the Presidency of Bill Clinton. It has ho...
In this episode I really want to give you the feeling that George H. W. Bush had finally turned the corner because that was what was really happening at the end of the 1992 campaign. After a tough primary challenge from a surprisingly strong Pat Buchanan, an upstart billionaire in Ross Perot jumping in who had a personal ax to grind with Bush going back many years, and then a formidable, charismatic, Southern Governor...
In this episode we will tune in to a Ross Perot Rally in Missouri. It will give you a chance to hear the upstart billionaire as he leads his revolutionary campaign through the heartland of America.
"Hi, I'm Ross and you're the Boss" became his tag line and he hit it over and over again, telling the enthusiastic crowds that they finally had a candidate that understood that the candidate had to answ...

It is time to hit the trail in the final couple of weeks of the 1992 campaign. I figured we would take off with the three Vice Presidential candidates in this episode. They were Vice President Dan Quayle, Senator Al Gore, and Admiral James Stockdale.

In 1992, South Carolina featured a heated Senate race that featured two very experienced and respected political figures in incumbent senator Ernest Hollings and his challenger former Congressman Tommy Hartnett. It would be the toughest challenge for Hollings in decades because not only was Hartnett a formidable challenger but the political dynamics in South Carolina were changing fast as the state grew more conservat...
In this special edition episode of our podcast we take a look back at a very special man, former Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming. He passed away in March at age 93. He had been the Senate Republican Whip under Bob Dole for a decade and together they made the institution work.

Few people ...
The day after the Presidential debate, Hillary and Bill Clinton had a rally in Richmond , Virginia. The feeling of momentum shifting in their direction was certainly evident but the race would prove to be far from over.
This is that rally in its entirety as the Clinton campaign kicks off its run toward the finish line.
George Bush would be heading out on a whistlestop tour across the the South and we would see him in ...
This is the famous Vice Presidential Debate. It would feature a fiery set of exchanges between Vice President Dan Quayle and Senator Al Gore. The two men served in the Senate together and knew each other quite well. The gloves will come off and as that happens the third man on the stage , retired Admiral James Stockdale, was often reduced to being a bystander.
It was a shining moment for Dan Quayle, who in my opinion,...
In this first of several episodes where we will be looking at the Presidential Debates, both in this series in 1992, and the coming Dole series in 1996, we will look back on the first Townhall debate held in a Presidential election year.
This was playing to Bill Clinton's strength. It would also play to George Bush's weakness. Bush appears at times to be bored with the format and looks at his watch several t...
He's Back!!!!
After a nearly three month absence in the 1992 Presidential race, Ross Perot decides to jump back in to the race. The truth is he probably never really ever left it. All I can say about whomever's tactical decision it was to have him withdraw in the first place needed to have their head examined. It ranks, in my opinion, as one of the stupidest decisions in the history of campaign politics. The ...
