Yeah but the hoopla surrounding that whole thing only serves to detract from the real question, are the guy's policies sound and can he lead effectively?

He didn't know it was a racist term, it was a slip of the tongue, a poor choice of words. Is that the argument for why he'd be a poor leader? That's flimsy.

It's just like saying Bill Clinton was a poor leader because he let Monica give him a beej. It makes no sense.
