You really know how to pick them.

Nikki Haley defends leaving slavery out as cause of Civil War after backlash

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nikki-haley-fails-to-mention-slavery-when-asked-about-cause-of-civil-war-new-hampshire-town-hall/

Plus many more links.

There are two important points.

The obvious one is that she was unprepared to answer an unexpected but easy question. Perhaps, presidential candidates should be required to pass a civics test. I doubt she would have received any points for that answer on a NYS High School American History Regents Test.

The more troubling point is her attempt to shift the blame from herself to Democrats. From the linked article:

Haley said on Thursday she thought the questioner was "definitely" planted by Democrats to trip her up.

"The same reason he didn't tell the reporters what his name was, the same reason he went and showed the guy that he was with the tweet that went up after he did it," Haley said. "We see these guys when they come in, we know what they're doing."

That's the wrong attitude in a leader. She's obviously not heeding Mayor LaGuardia's attitude: "When I make a mistake it's a beaut."
