Perot provid ed nothing more than a pep talk, he said. "He was just a cheerleader," he said. "He was trying to pump- up the crowd. Perot didn't have any plans. He basically didn't say anything." Sweeney felt that Clinton fared better than Bush in the ex changes between the two. Bush did not motivate the crowd while Clinton offered appealing ideas of change, she said. "He wasn't as intense as he needed to be. He didn't provoke the enthusiasm in me. But the things Clinton said convinced me that maybe he is the change " I don't think Bush knows the first thing about domestic affairs, or solving any of our domestic problems." - Kimberly Smith, a senior from Cypress "Perot came out ahead because of his platform. He has more to offer people. " — Ben Poole, a senior fm San Antonio our country needs." Johnson thought Bush was "basically effective," but said he was disappointed that Bush missed many opportunities to define his position against Clin ton. "He (Bush) could have re sponded in different ways," Johnson said. "Like, whenCi ton would say something about health care, I thought ofathoii’ sand different responses thante ones Bush gave."
