Like the libertarian platform, but hate the candidate. He's a warmed over democrat with no class.

I can't vote for that guy.

"Never Trump"

I have an answer for you.

Gary Johnson is getting a lot of attention this week. Search engines have reported a huge spike in interest in the Libertarian Party candidate since Donald Trump all but wrapped up the Republican Party nomination this week.
Or vote for the lesser of two evils like every other election cycle and see where that takes you.
Is Gary Johnson a complete A$$h0le or what?

telco, your blind allegiance to anything regarding the Democratic Party is appalling. You have no problem calling Johnson names and condemning him when he has already apologized and said when the question was first asked his mind was thinking acronyms, not cities in foreign countries. No different than all the times you have given Hillary Clinton passes for apologies, except you can't accept it because he is not a Democrat.

Your double standards with regards to Democrats is every bit as poor as the double standards among Republicans. You lose more credibility every time you apply them.

Howie, interesting you're so quick to point out Johnson's very minor gaffe about Aleppo, a subject you had no clue about either until now.

He has already said in some threads that he [closes his eyes and] votes party lines ... no critical thinking applied.

Last night was not another minor one.

I strongly suspect you'd also have trouble coming up with a favorite foreign leader without resorting to google. After all, you still don't seem to grasp the concept of an "independent voter" even after it was explained to you.

I'm not running for POTUS but someone who is should be able to answer such a simple question.
Hillary would not have that problem since she has traveled to over 112 foreign countries.

Sure I do! I completely understand how unelectable candidates can effect the outcome of elections.

This was made abundantly clear by Bernie Sanders and his effect on Hillary's campaign. He realized he could not possibly win so he threw his support behind a sure winner.

Johnson and Weld are just another train wreck not ready for prime time.

I think telco could very easily come up with a favorite foreign leader. That would be Yul Brynner in Anna and the King of Siam. :laugh:

So she's been to 112 foreign countries. Big whoop. The only way she could answer the question is the way she's done it so far, had the questions provided in advance and an earpiece so someone can spoon-feed the answer to her.
