I know what you're saying, but you can't be a politician and not have thick skin and accept the fact that you're going to fuck up, and sometimes make a colossal ass out of yourself. It's part of the job. I will say that I was impressed that he seemed so nonchalant about it and was able to laugh it off, as if it were almost trivial. Impressed, that is, with his ability to keep cool under pressure. Not impressed with the fact that he didn't know what the fuck he was talking about and yet he's running for prez.
The fact of the matter is that NOT ONE of the Republican candidates is prepared or intellectual enough to become president, save perhaps Ron Paul and maaaaaaaaaaaaybe Romney. Maybe. This seems to be a growing theme within the party, where they get elected solely by sound bytes and not on their merits. It's quite literally similar to being elected Homecoming King and Queen in high school. There's no criteria for such a thing, just the fact that you're more popular with the people who make the most noise which is usually incoherent rambling anyway with a smattering of misguided rants.
This is why I think people should be given exams in order to have the right to vote every election because your heart can be in the right place, but if your brain is tuned in to Jersey Shore you shouldn't have the right to vote. You're literally making it worse for the entire world when you vote idiots into the White House.
