Way to go, Larry.

From today's Morning Joe:

Quote:
Barnicle: “What would you do if you are elected about Aleppo?”

Johnson: “And what is Aleppo?”

Barnicle: “You’re kidding.”

Johnson: “No.”

After Nov. 8, Johnson and Trump can team up on a quiz show about world affairs.

That's because our country's political system is a two-party system and it blocks any other avenues for potentially capable individuals from being front and center. Where was Gary Johnson last night - why wasn't he on the stage with the Demo-GOP candidates?

Why isn't Johnson getting national security briefs like the other candidates to allow him to be on a level playing field?

Exactly what the two party system would NEVER want unfortunately.

What is Aleppo? Dog food, obviously. But seriously, I am tired of countries making a mess of what they have then run to the US asking what would we do. My answer? You fix it. The same people who are streaming out of Syria voted 90% for Assad a few years ago.

Debate is in about 2-3 weeks, so if Johnson does get in, he better be studying national policy, national security questions to be able to play the gotcha game. Might be too late.

Agreed, although this looks really bad for him, and I won't make excuses for him, foreign policy isn't super high on my list of reasons I'm voting for him anyway.

At least he was honest with his answer which Clinton has never been able to be regarding anything, and I am no fan of Johnson.

I thought the ship had already sailed on being in the debates for him, no?
