Canter. I'm not sure he's one of the Gishiest of the gallopers, but he's definitely betting on them to win. Also, according to urban dictionary, he's definitely a galloper:

Galloper
Derived from the film 'Ong Bok' - A galloper is one who behaves in a certain unbridled manner in respect to any situation. It's obviously a reference to the stiff gait of a wild stallion clopping across the land. One who is acting outside of the realm of proper demeanor is a galloper.

Supporting Trump, worshipping Ayn Rand, destroying the safety net all qualify as unbridled behavior to me.
