And yet many of these people say they will vote for him anyway

The question is, why? According to the Huffpollster:
[A] combined 61 percent say they have reservations (19 percent) or are outright uncomfortable (42 percent) with Trump’s lack of experience in the kinds of positions traditionally held by American commanders-in-chief. To put that number in context: A lower total percentage of voters – 51 percent – expressed concern about Bernie Sanders potentially becoming the first self-described Democratic socialist to lead the country. Those who expressed concern about Trump’s lack of military or government experience included 68 percent of women, 60 percent of independents, 78 percent of undecided voters and about a third of Republican primary voters.”
Only a third of Repubicans care about this. After caterwauling for 8 years about Barack OBama being unqualified. I guess it’s that “I vote for the guy I’d like to have a beer with him” concept. People figure they could do it themselves if they wanted — and certainly better than any lily-livered Democrat female — so it’s perfectly fine if the president is a know-nothing cretin who has no clue. And he is rich which automatically makes him a genius. Like the Olsen twins. He’ll figure it out.
