Gary Johnson is confused about the civil war in Syria.
The Libertarian presidential candidate appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday, where he was asked what he would do about Aleppo. The city has suffered massive destruction during the Syrian civil war and is the center of the Syrian humanitarian crisis.
“And what is Aleppo?” Johnson responded.
“You’re kidding,” MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle shot back.
“No,” Johnson said.
After he was told what Aleppo was, Johnson did go on to discuss his plan for Syria — which he called “a mess" — though his plan was vague.
He recommended “joining hands with Russia to bring this civil war to an end."

Happens. Still a great deal less disturbing than Trump on foreign knowledge. Trump doesn't have a clue about anything in that area. Hillary has the advantage on that part because she's worked more closely with it and for longer.

I do find it kind of funny that considering all the things the two major candidates have did that this is getting Johnson so much flack. I mean, yeah, it's embarrassing but relatively small comparatively.

Killary sure as heck should know about the middle east.. she is the one with insane Hussein who created the disastrous pathetic mess in Syria, Libya and are the ones who unleashed Isis! Geese Louise if anyone is most definitely Not qualified on foreign affairs it's war monger Killary who really believes she has to Provoke wars to show strength! give us a frigging break!

anyone who isn't wearing rose colored glasses can clearly see.. compared to Killary and her failures in all foreign affairs.. for she has absolutely no accomplishments whatsoever in the middle east.. Trump or Johnson could do 150% better than her any day of the week.. she gets an F in foreign affairs.. she is not qualified to be potus from the total disastrous mess she left behind..

companies don't hire people who totally suck and totally fail at their jobs.. they get Fired instead.. Killlary is no different.. she does not deserve to be elected.. she failed miserably! big time!
:rollseyes:
Killary, DNC, Obummer's DOJ and FBI all Lied and Spied and Good People Died!

Hillary swung and missed plenty during her tenure as Secretary of State.

Johnson is at least a hell of a lot more honest in my book.

The fact that the Libertarian Ticket is being attacked now shows that the major parties are worried.

there is plenty of time for the ticket of Johnson and Weld to really be a Perot style spoiler in this race.

I loved when they said on TV...

If you don't like us after 4 years...we'll leave!

That is what Politics should be!



Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls.

While Johnson should have known what Aleppo was, honestly, that's not the big problem here. The bigger problem is that his answer was incoherent and that's what would really concern me about his being president. I don't dislike Johnson but this did show his weakness on foreign affairs - not because he failed to identify a Syrian city - but because he had a meandering and unrealistic answer.

Of course, I'm sure if Trump had said "What is Aleppo?" no one would have cared. Trump has developed an almost superhuman ability to say unbelievably dumb things day after day and not lose ground because of it. I assume Johnson envies him right now. I know Clinton certainly does.

Johnson is getting flack because internal polls are show he is pulling more votes from Hillary than Trump.....

And Hillary's foreign affairs experience has been nothing but a disaster....started with voting for Iraq war, the oops reset button with Russia and everything has gone down hill from there...Syria, ISIS, Libya, Iran, Crimea, South China Sea...a destabilized world and a culture of failure...yay Hillary.....

Trump has effectively negotiated with foreign leaders for decades.....a far more valuable skill than knowing wtf Aleppo is or any other random bit of trivia ....

sucks to be Johnson to be on the receiving end of the liberal in the tank for Hillary media establishment....

Wait a sec, what foreign leaders has Trump negotiated anything with? Certainly nothing regarding foreign policy. Opening up a line of clothing in China or Mexico really doesn't count.

Just half of what Trump owns and several are outside the USofA...some of those certainly involved negotiations with foreign leaders....

LMAO anyone who says Trump can't negotiate are blooming idiots.. he didn't sell a #1 selling book on negotiating if he didn't.. he already deals with heads of state on condo's and homes he sells them.. just because Killary has flown across the world drunk majority of the time does not make her a successful negotiator.. in fact all signs say the total opposite.. that Killary failed miserably as SOS.. Hussein failed miserably as Potus.. neither of them had executive experience when they entered office and it is so obvious how lacking of "successful" experience they truly have today..

Trump has more executive experience dealing with heads of state then Johnson too.. I can not imagine for a minute Johnson dealing with Putin.. we all know Killary can't deal with him and neither can Johnson.. Putrin would eat both of them up and spit both of them out.. he has already done that with Killary.. that's also why she is disqualified, she could never handle Putin in the past and she still can't handle him now.. she is the one who would fire nukes at Russia.. and then turn around and lie and claim she didn't remember setting the nukes off.. she is the most dangerous disastrous scandalous can't be trusted person alive, which disqualifies her to be Potus..
