I suspect that a large part of why Trump got as much support as he did is that people thought "this guy is a loose canon, maybe stuff will actually happen"
Oh, stuff will actually happen. Very extremely bad stuff, judging by the behavior and personnel appointments we're seeing out of this Administration so far.
There's a very real base of voters who will always vote for "change" until they see whatever they're looking for. They voted for Obama, who even used "hope and change" as a campaign slogan. Then they voted for Trump, because he was the candidate promising change while Clinton was going to be more of the same.

Exactly what I meant, but apparently there are some on HN who'll downvote anything appearing to be complimentary of Trump, even if it is not.
I voted for Hillary, BTW.
1) Fanatical follower that believes he will do everything he says
2) A vote against the "system" though understands he says one thing and does another
3) "Just don't like Hillary"
4) etc.
