Gary Johnson on Morning Joe

[NumberSix]

Mike Barnicle: "what would you do if you're elected about Aleppo?"
Gary Johnson: "about?"
Mike Barnicle: "ALEPPO"
Gary Johnson: "and what is Aleppo?"
Mike Barnicle: "... you're kidding?"
Gary Johnson: "no"

Well he had a nice little run.

"sir, have you ever imagined or dreamed of driving a tank?"

Unfortunate.

The Libertarians could have made real gains this election. For the record I think Libertarianism is as dumb as communism but some of the principles are worthy of adoption.

Gary Johnson's running mate is much more presidential than he is. Trouble is most Libertarians are a bunch of moronic 20 somethings who still live at home and have no idea how the world works, minus what they bark on forums like this.

Like I said before- Johnson comes off as a scatterbrained pothead every time he appears publicly.

which is disappointing since he was a pretty good governor

Also Aleppo pepper is delicious.

Going to see how the Syrian Libertarian I know reacts to this.

[Hawker]

This was his answer:

"OK, got it, got it," Johnson said, cutting him off. He added: "With regard to Syria I do think it's a mess. mess. I think that the only way that we deal with Syria is to join hands with Russia to diplomatically bring that at an end."

"It's just a mess," he said.

Probably would've been better if the guy just said Syria instead of Aleppo.

So we actually have a fairly honest candidate, not someone who changes the subject when they don't know something and turns into some kind of finger pointing attack dog?

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up.

So... just playing devil's advocate here but...

Wouldn't it be better if he didn't know where (or what) Aleppo is? That would, of course, mean that we were not involved. Seems to me its not a matter of 'he doesn't know because he's dumb' but more of a matter of 'he doesn't know cause he doesn't give a ****'.

Exactly what you want in a Commander-In-Chief.

"Mr. President let's discuss the issues facing one of the epicenters of the conflict in the Middle East and a key spot in the fight against International terrorist organizations."

"I don't give a shit about that."

Well to be fair... I think Johnson not knowing what Aleppo is bad, but it isn't as bad as Hillary Clinton not knowing what classification makers are.

[Nastradamus]

Not a good look, not a big deal though either.

Because of the economy, that's pretty much most 20 somethings in general these days... I know a bunch of liberals like that too.
