Gary Johnson can't think of any foreign leader

that he respects. Had another "Allepo moment" he says. Says the former president of Mexico though he can't say which one.

Does he still smoke a lot of weed or what? Donald Trump could probably answer the question, though it would likely be Vladimir Putin.

And this joker thinks he should be President of the United States. Not that there is any chance at all of that happening.

The video is cringe-worthy, to be sure. I've switched away from it several times already.

If Aleppo killed his future in national politics, or any position requiring an interest in foreign affairs, this one may have killed his domestic political career as well.

Stick a fork in him... he's done.
 
Wow, as far as libertarians go I always thought he seemed like an OK guy, but he's looking really... slow.
 
That was cringeworthy. Bill Weld named Angela Merkel. Sheesh - the epitome of virtue signalling.

Yeah, why else would anyone bother bringing up the womenfolk trying to do men's work unless they were trying to score points with the PC crowd?
 
At least he could think of someone. Maybe he should be at the top of the ticket.

Oh, believe me, almost every Libertarian I know thinks the ticket should be reversed. Bill Weld is no genius, but he's a hell of a lot smarter than Gary Johnson. Weld also has a charming personality. Gary Johnson would get upstaged by a wet dishrag.

Merkel is the one who is guilty of virtue signalling, not Weld. Of course, the libertarians mostly believe in open borders, so it makes sense.

You can call it virtue signalling. It looks to me like a principled moral stand. She's actually doing something to help the refugees.

I don't know why you insist on belittling actual action to help others as mere "signalling". Maybe, just maybe, she believes in welcoming those in need.
 
This guy isn't suited to run for mayor of the most insignificant town anywhere. He's depriving a village of an idiot.

I can't wait for the spin "of course I know many foreign leaders. I know so many I was having trouble sorting out the best in such a short time".

Seriously, this tool is counting on people voting for him?

Oh, OK. Yeah, why would a woman born in the GDR believe in helping refugees and opening borders? Makes no sense. I've been saying that to those friends of mine who volunteered countless hours to aid refugees here in Sweden too, "Man, you're just virtue signalling."

Libertarians don't give two ***** about who they vote for. I'm pretty sure that's how they define themselves. "Well, sure, he's dumb as a half-sack of hammers but he's going to abolish speed limits! Whoosh!"
 
Good try. Even the uber tool Trump can name a foreign leader. Clinton can give you all their shoe sizes.

The ignorance of Johnson is staggering.

Too bad he is the candidate I think who has the best policies.

Not even best policies. The only one with a set of policies that are not an awful trainwreck.
 
Naturally.

Stupid, damaging, unelectable policies. But it's a big country. You will find people who think the most stupid policies are good.

No one will ever accuse me of throwing my vote away. im so incompatible with the two parties that no one can identify a party I should back as part of strategic voting.
