Another Aleppo Moment

About a third of Millenials, and about 7% of likely voters are planning on voting for a third party candidate.

And here is their guy.




         Johnson 2016
Because knowledge is overrated.





Gary Johnson has another 'Aleppo moment' in interview

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson had another tough night on the campaign trail when he couldn't come up with the name of a foreign leader during an interview Wednesday.

"Who's your favorite foreign leader," MSNBC's Chris Matthews asked Johnson, who sat beside his running mate, former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld.

Matthews pushed Johson to pick anyone, from any continent or country, after an apparently confused Johnson repeated the question.

"Name one foreign leader that you respect and look up to," Matthews said. "Anybody," he added as Johnson searched for an answer.

"Mine was Shimon Peres," Weld offered, picking the former Israeli leader who died Wednesday from a stroke.

"I'm talking about living," Matthews said, pointing back to Johnson.

"You gotta do this," Matthews said. "Anywhere. Any continent. Canada, Mexico, Europe, over there, Asia, South America, Africa: Name a foreign leader that you respect," Matthews said as Johnson continued to fumble for an answer.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Another Aleppo Moment

I understand that people will likely vote for a third party as a protest vote, but this guy really is clueless on the International front. Just what you would want in a POTUS.

Re: Another Aleppo Moment

I wonder if we will see a fade as election day approaches and people appreciate that because it is inescapable that Johnson has no chance - as well as no clue - that their protest vote may well lead to a racist, misogynist, uninformed boob winning their state.

If there's any sanity left in this country, Clinton will win by a wide enough margin that a third-party push won't make a difference.

Then again, I was certain a Cartoon Candidate like Trump had no chance of winning the nomination. 


If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.
