My understanding of the 1912 electtion is that there was a huge rift between Teddy Roosevelt and Taft (R)....that Teddy
decided to run against Taft. Therefore, throwing the election to Wilson, who won by only 42.5% (the lowest margin ever).

In 1992, this scenario was repeated by Perot's dislike for George Bush (Sr.), which then threw the election to Clinton.

Political analysts have determined that 2/3rds of the 19% that voted for Perot, would have voted for Bush. Therefore, Bush
would have beat Clinton in a very close race....51% to 49%
