Hampton, New Hampshire -- Teenagers wheeled around the cafeteria of Hampton Academy, eating pizza and waiting for the main event to begin. Country music blared over the speakers.

Only people poor enough and capable enough to wield pitchforks and pine knot torches can participate in a “populist revolt”, and all of those are already lined up behind Trump or Cruz.
He means a ‘Population-of-One Revolt’.
