Quoted in NakedCapitalism.com:
From an interview with Glenn Greenwald, Reason Magazine. One bit:
Q: How can we make sense of the political shift we are experiencing in the U.S.?
A: The thing that makes no sense is that anybody would twice vote for Obama and then vote for Trump. How do you make sense of that if you see the world through conservatism versus liberalism? It makes perfect sense, though, if your driving ideology is not conservatism or liberalism, but contempt for the status quo and the ruling elites that safeguard it. Because that is what Obama channeled more than anything, right? “I’m an outsider. I have this funny name. I haven’t been in Washington very long. I want to change the way Washington works.” That’s exactly the message Trump nestled within his work in his own different style.

...which is in line with Boss Tweed's famous saying: "I don't care who people vote for as long as I can pick the candidates."
