We already have our “Ross Perot” (Trump). They’re just continuing to whine that they still can’t get an establishment Republican thru the primary.
You are 100% correct on this.
Unfortunately, the Trump term from 2017-2020 clearly demonstrated the futility of having a "Perot" in the White House when the two major parties control Congress.
Ross Perot was Trump without the charisma. For a shrill little guy he got a lot of votes including mine. He spoke truth to power at full volume.
