... and to move things in the wrong direction.

But, as "the people" did follow Cheney's direction,
they knew that ultimately Bush was still in charge.
And once Bush (and Cheney) left office,
Cheney's "leadership" went into the pits.

Had Cheney run for President, he would have failed
because "the people" recognized his direction was wrong.

A strong-but-wrong leader and subordinates
ultimately are brought down by the followers.
