I was going to provide the video. It was sort of underhanded as a good interviewer sets up a question with a preface as a courtesy as well for viewers to get background. Willie Geist is good with that.

His extent of knowledge about Syria was that "it is a mess." Well, duh. What he should have said was not everybody's problem is our problem. Let them figure it out. Who is helping us?

It WAS underhanded.

Someone hits me with an unrelated question like "what are you going to do about Allepo", and I'd stall out, too.
UNESCO? UNICEF? The UFO.....WHAT??!!

Do ABOUT Allepo? That's funny.

Now we got all these people who were gonna consider him, but NOW.........

Best candidate in the race. By far. The ONLY sane one.

What is Aleppo?

Oh you mean the Syrian refugee?

This draws more outrage to him than him being Captian illegal immigrant?

I feel bad for the guy. He was the darling up until he started being a spoiler for the wrong person. He looks absolutely baffled. He is too weak to handle this obnoxious press.

Johnson gave him the opportunity by being... uninformed.

The New York Times sets Gary Johnson straight, or tries:

M of A - NYT Ridiculing Of Gary Johnson Fails With Four(!) Major Mistakes

This is why Any Random Anonymous Blogger on the Internet is about as reliable as the NYT. (Of course, it's useful to read the NYT to know which way the elite pundit winds are blowing.)
