Rather articulate actually. Somewhere along the way though, the one percent got hold of him and said, "Listen son, this is how the world is. You're going places and we like you. How'd you like to get rich along the way?" Suddenly he's a conservative Republican representing the interests of the one percent.

Some might think but I see it as perfectly logical and reasonable. One percent sees a guy who is going places, so they try to flip him. If they can't flip him, then they burn him. Think Eliot Spitzer.
