Think about how funny it will be to watch his most devout followers embrace and defend his demented ramblings, though. To everyone else, it will be interesting to see the mental gymnastics they employ to try and convince others that he's not losing his mind.

When he gets lost and scared on his way to the podium, when he gets angry and starts getting super racist during interviews, when he soils himself during a visit to a foreign country. We'll get to watch most of his followers erode, but there will be hardliners who will try to defend a literal dementia patient as some masterful gambit.

Whether he wins or loses, we'll be hearing about him for the rest of his life, and we'll see his descent into mindlessness either way. We have a rare opportunity to put a literal mad man at the helm of a super power. This opportunity might not come again.
