Gary Johnson’s Aleppo gaffe was bad. But Trump’s consistent ignorance is worse.

No, because there was nothing to miss. The term boots on the ground refers to an intervention by conventional ground forces. Special forces and CIA spooks are all over the place, probably in some locals that would surprise many. Sending a few dozen, or even a few hundred, on a covert and temporary mission is light years away from committing an army division on a long term defined project. And when asked about her policy, clearly her answer would refer to her possible future administration, not what any trend is now. Given the events of this election campaign, the "trend" seems to be that people are getting stupider by the minute. Hopefully that is a trend that can be reversed.

One may agree or disagree with a troop commitment to the Middle East. The point is that at least Clinton is talking about the issues, while Johnson is stumped on the basic geography. That is news.

No, its not.
