I saw an article linking Trump to our local, long-time rep Jim Traficant. You guys remember Traficant, right? He was that insane, corrupt mobster that kept on getting electing that would go on those crazy populist rants on the floor of the house? Yeah, well he was completely ineffective as a representative, but he Never lost an election. That brand of crazy, that populist "Speaking truth to power" anger speaks to a lot of voters. https://dar2dream.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/trump-channels-traficant/

"Psycho". Classic film from classic Director, and the main character is locked up at the end.

But it's not the Same Old People. Ann Leckie won for her debut novel last year, and the Puppies HATE her. "The Wind-up Girl" won in 2009, and "Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell" in 2009. Both Brad and Larry were Campbell Nominees.

There's a lot about the puppies where they say one thing and do another. It's been written about pretty extensively. Check out Jim C. Hines post for a comprehensive and fair article with lots of sources: http://www.jimchines.com/2015/06/puppies-in-their-own-words/ I agree with Jim that there is nothing explicitly Sexist about the puppies, but the fact is their slate was less diverse ( And has much weaker works) than most recent ballots.
Personally, I think they only glommed onto the politics to get useful fools on board. This was always about sour grapes and self promotion.

The Hugos have open nominations. So long as you're a member of the World Fantasy Con, You can nominate up to five entries in each category. The Hugo Committee then picks the 5 entries with the most nominations, IF each has at least 5% of the nominations. With only 1K or so Nominators, and thousands of works possible to be nominated, a work can make the ballot with only a few votes. And it does happen. If there is so much of a spread than a top 5 gets less than 5%, it doesn't get listed (2013 had only three nominees in SS as 4 and 5 had too few nominations)
So it' very easy for a concerned bloc to skew the vote. With about 15% of the nominations, the Rabid Puppy slate swept everything. Note they really didn't break the rules: This was a known bug, and there was a gentleman's agreement kinda in place that kept the community from exploiting it. The Puppies have said they feel there was a backroom conspiracy to promote a certain type of literary fiction over their own works, but by sweeping th categories, they themselves pretty much disproved it. THey proved the system wasn't being gamed precisely because it was so easy to be gamed, anybody could have done it at any time.
