Gary Johnson: "What is Allepo?"
- Thread starter tlwwake
- Start date
That puts him on par with the rest of the shit show running in this election. Donald didn't know what brexit was. Matter of fact no one in previous years would be able to survive the stupid shit he says. However, people are still fanatical about him. This goes to show you how people compartmentalize ideals and never reconcile. I wonder how many people reading these articles about Gary Johnson also didn't know about Aleppo. Unfortunately for him, he has little wiggle room to have brain farts.
I think Johnson is an idiot, but the question and all that has transpired since is a hatchet job.
If you are asking about Syria, say Syria. Throwing out "Allepo" randomly is nothing more than baiting.
Most importantly, I've seen this clip non-stop this morning. You know what I haven't seen? His answer.

How Hillary has survived is actually more surprising than Trump, and I don't think it's even close.

That was my feeling. He's basically just killing me by showing that he's not shining above the other two as much as he should.
He's still the clear best option, but he's been bordering on joining the "picking the best of the evils" argument.
I wish there was more of an Amash or Sasse type to choose.

You make a good point.
She is the symbol of what is wrong with Washington.....that political figures are above the law, that they are the Elite. People are obviously fed up with Washington. Hell, it seems like most congressmen have a family member that are lobbyist now. Mind blowing how we have legalized corruption. Looking at his record as Governor was some one who seemed to make decisions using reason rather than just blindly following party ideology. I don't agree with him on everything and sometimes I think he is naive but he seems to be determined to work to the best answer.
I'm not a Gary Johnson fan, but who really cares about these gotcha questions from the mainstream media? Most of the people in the mainstream media are bonafide idiots, sort of like actors and actresses in Hollywood, and yet they strut around like they are among the smartest people in the world. It's high time we recognize most members of the mainstream media for what they are -- self-important blowhards without too much of a brain. Why we allow them to sabotage our candidates is beyond me. I also don't understand why it is only left-wing Democrat Hillary Clinton supporters who get to ask the questions.
You win @GunsOfFrankEaton
Ape-what?
Who gives a F??
Have a coherent set of guidelines from which to lead, let the machinations of government unpack how to optimize out from those guidelines/values.

That was bad by Johnson. The rest of his answer on the subject was coherent though.
And then you have this whole series of corrections by the NYT:
Probably ought not to mock someone for not knowing what Aleppo is if you don't know that Damascus is the capital of Syria.

Good Lord, how can any serious POTUS candidate draw a blank on Aleppo? It shows:
1. He has no intellectual curiosity. Given the reams of information and reporting about and from Aleppo, he's never had the curiosity to see what's going on? I guess it's not him or the 3 feet around him, so...
2. He's out of touch with the world and current events.
3. He couldn't even bs his way through it -- even if he wasn't up on it, you'd think he could seamlessly pivot and talk about the greater Syrian issues, which is sort of what the issue is about anyhow. He had to be spoon fed.
4. "What's Aleppo?" is the perfect microcosm of Libertarian foreign policy.

It's almost like a former Secretary of State saying that a bracketed "C" at the top of a State Dept. communique must have referred to the alphabetical order of pages.
Wait, no it isn't; not at all. That was just another bold-faced lie.
Would it be worse if he had said there are 57 states?
At least he didn't say Aleppo was a cousin of Groucho, Harpo and Chico.

We are all aware that your war mongering candidate (and the current POTUS) knows exactly where she wants to drop bombs from unmanned aircraft like a coward.
Unless Hillary has hearing aids, which I don't think is the case because I've never seen her wear them during other stuff, she wears an earpiece during speeches, interviews, etc for the very same reason -- so someone behind the curtain can prompt her when she gets stuck.
1. I can't believe you've opened yourself up to this!! I'll feed you the conservative mantra on these boards: Have you personally enlisted to drop bombs from a manned aircraft or otherwise fight it? You must not believe it then.
2. So which American should we endanger in lieu of having a machine do it?
3. So if the American is in a computerized, supersonic jet at 30,000 feet with a laser-guided bomb, that's honorable? Where do you draw the line between honor and cowardice?
4. Let me know which styles of war are fair and honorable, General Cornwallis.
Nobody bothers to listen to the constant nitpicking and exaggeration any more. If the usual conservative bullshit artists were more honest it would greatly help.
People have been saying Hillary has an earpiece during things like her Benghazi hearing etc. Going back at least a couple of years.
The facts never matter. It's the "gotcha" that they're after.That was bad by Johnson. The rest of his answer on the subject was coherent though.

Most people leave out the rest of his statement, "I think there is 1 left to go...Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit but my staff would not justify it." Ergo, 60 states?
It's easier for them to tell her to say "I can't recall" than to give her a detailed answer which would trigger a coughing spell.Huh? I can't recall!
