VERY perceptive.
That was exactly the purpose Perot served -- he separated many in the conservative base from the GOP candidate.
Though, in his case, I don't believe he was working at liberal (or Clintonian direction). Ross was free-lancing because he had a mad-on for George H.W. Bush.
Yeah..kinda piss's yas off when ya lose those multibillion dollar gubermint contracts.
Actually, I think it was both... a detestation for H.W. and a perceived promise of $$ from the toon camp...upon election.
He fooled a lot of people.
