I agree that his policies would also disqualify him. But who here cares?
Hands up anyone here who thinks a discussion about Trumps policies might change the way they're going to vote in the US presidential election?
I certainly don't care enough to talk about them.

You find his bombast relevant, but his policies irrelevant.
What I find strange about this, is that it is exactly how he is gaining his supporters. (You happen to dislike his style, but some people love it.) People complain about the fact that Trump discusses nothing substantive, and then immediately participate in that non-substantive morass.
What's also interesting is that Clinton didn't start really climbing in the polls relative to Trump until she also stopped talking about policy, and switched to more superficial criticisms. To my ear, it just sounds like people having the political version of a Kim vs Chloe Kardashian argument.
