He made an idiotic comment on rape and pregnancy; it was far more than misusing one word. He’s been the GOP candidate for barely a week and this is the third comment of his that will wind up in McCaskill commercial. He’s his own worst enemy.
There’s absolutely nothing idiotic about the point he was making. The liberals like to focus on that little 2% sliver of special cases to try and explain why we’re supposedly wrong because we’re only right 98% of the time. He was correctly pointing out that the cases of pregnancy resulting from rape are very low. That’s an important point to make in explaining our position. He simply used one wrong word, “legitimate,” when he should have said “violent.”
