I don't think he is that blind. I did an anlysis of this in an article elsewhere. It wouls cost a probable $80,000,000 and take four to six years to start a viable third party. Perot had the money, but he couldn't do it in a month and he was too serious a man politics as it was then constructed. He did bring in millions of new voters in a proportion of turnout that hasn't been cloe to being matched since. At one time he had 30% of the total vote and was still moving up in the polls. When he blew his top at that black leadership convention in Florida and quit in exasperation his candidacy was too scarred to resume.
It will require a Perot type backer and years to cull over the country for leadership to start a third party. Until then, the country is stuck with the Republicans and the Democrats.
Plus, he was slightly less insane than Lyndon LaRouche.
