It bothers me when the crowd goes nuts over it. What other third-grade mentalities are going to become the common coin of modern political discourse? Cooties? I'm-rubber-you're-glue? No backsies?

No, I'm not bothered and I think you're reading WAY too much into it.
It's used in the SNL sketch and IRL as "wimpy". He's just playing off the image people have of him as the Teutonic Muscleman. From the same guy who thought it was amazing that he's come so far in this country despite the fact that "he sounds like a Nazi". Not worth getting worked up about.
