You still don't get it do you? US presidential elections have literally zero to do with issues anymore. It's all about regurgitating talking points. "Flag pins," "hand over heart," "tire gauges," ...
Example: If your buddy wants to give you **** at work about who you're voting for.
"Hey PR, you eat any good arugula lately?
"Well arugula is actually very tasty, and nutritious" - FAIL
"Hey PR, you eat any good arugula lately?"
"At least I don't own 7 houses and call my wife a ****." - WIN
It only takes about 15 minutes for a news channel to report the news for the day and they have another 23:45 to kill. Gaffes like this are prime fodder for cable news, pundits, and dinner conversation.
It also could morph into a "he can't name how many houses he has, what else will he forget?" (Czechoslovakia, German President Putin) so that this one gaffe will open the floodgates.
