If you dig into Perot, you find that he just wanted to do whatever Perot wanted to do, dictator style, strong-man style.
As long as he toned it down enough for a campaign, many heard it as just a strong leader, a forceful guy with strong beliefs etc. etc., but tune in closer and you discover that he didn’t have limits, of any kind, not constitutional, not morally, if kicking in doors without warrants to search entire communities of families was easy and a direct line to his accomplishing his goal, then it is what he wanted to do.
He was not a serious choice to be an American President.
You have nailed Perot.
