"Pardon me while I may pull the wrong word from time to time"

Anyone who does any amount of public speaking like he does, or any of the candidates, will do this. There's a vast difference between the idiocy and lack of actual knowledge of Trump and what anyone else - republican or democrat alike - end up doing while on a busy campaign trail.

Which is why "attacks" like this, especially within the party, always look foolish and like circular fire.
