You are misremembering. The only question about him at the time was whether
he would pull more votes from the Democrats or the Republicans. It could
have been either because the man had nothing that could pass as a platform.
He was great at criticizing and that is as far as it went.

The man never had a ghost of chance of winning and no one but his
supporters thought otherwise and they were few indeed. Henry Wallace had a
better  chance of winning than Perot ever had. As a third party candidate,
Perot was undoubtedly the least memorable. Even in retrospect, no one can
really say just what the man stood for. It was obvious early on that he
didn't know either. After listening to his criticism, when asked how he
would do things differently
- silence.
