The media unreasonably attack Gary Johnson over “Favorite Leader” Question. “Aleppo Moment” attacks catastrophizing Gary Johnson’s intellect is already underway. You know the other candidates don't get the same kinds of questions and reporting from same kind of perspectives. Don't act like you spout answers off the top of your tongue all the time. You know people sometimes know the person they're talking about, just can't recall the name. C'mon.. seriously? Now the media is acting like he can't even name one single country at all.

I don't know enough about Johnson to speculate on his intellect, but I wonder about his judgment. Tuesday at lunch, a friend who has been considering voting for him told me in disgust about this:

Are you kidding?

You actually think that compared to either major candidate he is getting treated worse?

Media bias clearly exists for Trump and Hillary; with the liberal press and pundits mocking and denigrating him, and the right wing press doing the same for Hillary.

Both sides usually treat third party candidates as non-entities.

Johnson should be happy he is getting any attention at all. :coffeepap:
 
He's a real person & down to earth! Don't act like you never tried to recall names off the top of your head when you know what you're talking about! It's human!

As a President your first responsibility is as Commander in Chief. As President you need to know who the leaders and where the cities are that have daily conflicts around the world. Gary Johnson has been unable to answer any foreign policy questions. He's lucky he is only getting this much attention.

When the Aleppo thing happened I first thought he did it on purpose. In order to get media attention, but it's clear he's unprepared to answer any foreign policy questions. Weld saved his butt!
 
Gary Johnson isn't this "I can't recall" candidate on how many times he passes out *cough cough Hillary*... apparently Trump can't recall opposing everything today that was for yesterday. Didn't Trump also say he was going to protect articles of the Constitution that didn't even exist? bwahaha.. I could go all day about the other 2 old party candidates.. you only got a couple things. Really want to go there? :D

I think what he was saying there is that he could bite his tongue or stick his tongue out like a fool and still win. But man, what a weird way to make his point.
 
Maybe if I understood what he was saying while biting his tongue it would make sense but until then, color me mystified.
