It sounds like a bad Ayn Rand novel (which is to say, an Ayn Rand novel). Run populist goon and then control policy behind the scenes!

Kind of a stunning mixture of audacity, hubris, and naivete. At least Thiel & Luckey will be profoundly disappointed if Trump actually wins.

Thiel probably knows people have tried this sort of thing before (Thucydides anyone?), and it NEVER works. The goon always screws it up.

PNAC was a mixture of longtime Repub kingpins and academic wonks, and only the former (Cheney, Rumsfeld) got what they wanted.
