That’s your problem Detector.
Consider that a man spends 20 years in a church and failed to see a problem with a hate talking minister. That qualifies him to identify problems that a leader needs to identify.
Wait, he later says he did see the problem but didn’t do anything about it. That experience qualifies him to unite and heal the problems of the country.
Not stepping up and dealing with the minister shows us that he’s qualified to step up and deal with foreign leaders.
He even showed us how he reaches across the color line with his recent comments;

"The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity," he said. "But she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know. . .there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."

“A typical white person”? What would the response be if I said “A typical black person” or “A typical Hispanic person”? Will someone please drag Granny out from under the bus?
Just forget common sense Detector and catch
the fee-var! Just say yes we can!
After all, if spending 20 years listening to a man preach hate qualifies one to heal our racial divides, I guess any old KKK member could do that since the KKK member has been close to the issue.
