At least Trump is interesting to listen to.

Sure. He says what politicians don't say.
However, this includes a foreign policy that would make the mess Bush started and Obama exacerbated so much worse. His idea of handling ISIS is, again, to bomb Iraq's oil fields. There's the genesis of an idea that cutting off ISIS' access to money is a good thing, but it's not really where ISIS gets its money and it would cause a dozen other problems.
He seems to approach foreign policy like it's an episode of The Apprentice. He pretends to listen for ten minutes, then he cuts off discussion and fires someone for some arbitrary small-picture reason.
Trump is divisive. And in a political world that's already far too divisive, I think he's too destructive to be worth the novelty he brings to the field.
However, he won't win.
