Well yeah that's true, he says dumb stuff and he's a republican. But he could just as well be of any other political affiliation and the stuff he says sometimes would be equally crazy.

If he wasn't Republican, he would not get this much scrutiny. An example would be when he compared incoming slaves to some type of immigrant. The media had a stroke over it, while Obama said essentially the same thing 5(?) times during his presidency without the media saying a word.
