Despite his clownishness and deliberately over-the-top persona, he's more qualified to run just about anything than Hillary Clinton is.
That does not mean I think he would win, even if he could somehow get the nomination. As an outsider to the US election process, I find it very remarkable how invincible Democrats seem to be, even when they are objectively awful. It's like they are made of Teflon. If Obama couldn't lose in 2012, I simply cannot see how Hillary could lose in 2016, given that the country has moved even further to the statist-left than before.
