Gary Johnson

[spacekowboy]

A momentary lapse of memory. Might have to do with all the doobie smoking. Or it might have to do with the fact that he has been so focused on trying to compete with these other 2 buffoons that he hasn't had much of an opportunity to be brought up to speed on every single conflict going on around the world.

I stubbed my toe this morning, Gary. If you are president what are you going to do about coffee tables?
Will you ban all Legos on the carpet?
Will you deport the Legos, Gary?

Really though it wasn't a good look. However it is not the worst thing a candidate in this race has said or done.

Far from it.

"What is 'Aleppo'?" - Gary Johnson







DONE! LOL

Problem is, he didn't Trump the answer, which is what you're supposed to do when you don't have a clue.

"Lots of people have talked to me about the Aleppo situation. And let me tell you, it's a real situation. It's bad. Real bad. It's a mess. We need to be smart about it. And we need to be strong. Not weak. I have the best plan for Aleppo. It's so good you can't even imagine it. When I'm president, we're gonna win this thing, and we're gonna win it fast, believe me."

I need to Trump my next performance review.

Might just work.

Johnson did not know what Aleppo is. Should a candidate for leader of the free world be better informed?

Did he dodge sniper fire there?

Non-responsive.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Good for Hillary.

He was drawing some of the Bernie base.

Sounds like a recipe..., maybe something that needs some thyme...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Non-responsive.

non non non responsive...

I like the guy but I would suggest he read the newspaper more often. As I said elsewhere he and Weld are a likable pair, likability being in short supply this year.

The newspapers are losing consumers as they slowly die off and have reduced themselves to nothing but Democrat propaganda.

I actually think he represents the broad spectrum of American voters who would, up until that question and the publicity thereof, have have deduced that Aleppo was the fifth Marx Brother...

He's never going to be President.

But I am still going to vote for him.

Trump, as you profess, is a clown, and Hillary, as I profess is a criminal enterprise.

If Bill Weld were heading the Republican ticket he'd get my vote. But the party wouldn't want him, he's one of those moderates you mock.

Oh Jesus, another variation on the same theme that I have heard for every election cycle since 2000 here at Lit.

If it was this guy I'd vote for him.

It always turns out the same.

He picked her as VP?

I have to vote for the guy I don't like because he's not anywhere as bad as she is and he's so old that he'll probably die in office...

 

[PeteHulbert37]

I don't know what the fuck it is. What do I care about some stupid conflict in another country. That's their problem. Though, I'm just a dumb libertarian who believes we shouldn't interfere in other countries affairs.

That's the way it goes. One of these days the R Party might stumble into the winning formula and run somebody who can kill it with Independent voters.

Libertarian Candidate: Pursuit of ‘Regime Change’ to Blame for Refugee Crisis

To be fair to him he did make more sense than the media and the Clinton camp on the subject.

 

[Ramone45]

That faux pas is VERY disturbing. H ow could he not know about the crisis in Aleppo?The most cursory scan of a newspaper or radio would contain information about Aleppo. Now I may have to vote for Jill Stein.

Frankly, I too, thought it was an acronym question. Aleutian-Pacific People's Organization? What?

As I already pointed out, even the New York Times wasn't a lot of help in clarifying the issue.

Obama's former Iraq ambassador, Chris Hill followed Johnson on the same show mistakenly called it "the capital of ISIS"

I gave Obama a pass when he said he'd been to 57 states. Campaigning for president is brutal. I find Johnson's honesty very refreshing this season.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Or when he named the wrong island chain, declared Hawaii as part of Asia, used the phrase corpse-man and admitted that he didn't speak Austrian...

None of that mattered because "he ran a successful" campign and defeated Mrs. Clinton.

In other news, in a new poll, BIG Johnson has hit the magic 15% number.

Agreed

It looks like the Obama Administration has independently adopted the Gary Johnson plan for Syria.

Cool, huh?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Have they adopted a plan or just announced a theoretical policy that will be treated with the same deference as the red line?

Haha! Nice.

We'll have to wait and see. I thought Aleppo was a B.S. Gotcha question because by January 20th, the city will have surrendered due to the water being shut off, or the siege will have been lifted by then.
