There's less than 1 percent of the population of Iowa that is African American...it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with."

This is not merely "blacks are less able to afford good education". It's not even close.

These campaigns are 24/7. It's just not possible to speak that often without putting your foot in your mouth.
If every candidate were required to clarify every statement, nothing would ever be said. It would take forever to explain any position.
We should cut these candidates some slack.

Hell no. This isn't your church picnic election, this is for [censored] president of the United States. Everything the winner says will be heard by millions of people for 4 years. Not saying stupid stuff is a big part of the job.
