He saw the way he could win when everyone else thought he was a joke. By the time anyone realized he was going to win it was way too late.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Conscientiously_Work-Shy_Elements https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Conscientiously_Wor... And that’s was an actual joke candidate who newer took the campaign seriously, an serious candidacy from a known celebrity have a high cance of success at a time when the establishment looks incompetent and corrupt.
