He disqualified himself by huge embarrassments.

DURHAM, N.H. (The Borowitz Report)—Asked at a town-hall meeting on Wednesday to name his favorite foreign leader, the Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson seemed stumped at first before finally responding, “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
The host of the town hall, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, initially appeared taken aback by Johnson’s answer, but the former New Mexico governor went on to defend it vigorously.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Master, Chris,” Johnson said. “More than anyone else, he taught me that the Force is already strong with me.”
“We’re on the same page about this, aren’t we, Bill?” he asked his running mate, the former Massachusetts Governor William Weld, who smiled weakly and shifted awkwardly in his chair.
As the town-hall audience murmured nervously, Matthews reframed the question for Johnson. “What I meant was, Governor, could you name your favorite world leader on this planet?” he asked.
Again, Johnson seemed perplexed, before eventually replying, “Frodo.”
The Libertarian Party announced on Thursday that Johnson would participate in no additional town halls.

@edgarblythe,
I often wondered if we're on middle earth, or upper or lower. Or maybe mezzanine.
@edgarblythe,
I don't know why, but that made me think of this:
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In an appearance Friday on CNN, Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Presidential nominee, promised that as President he would get tough on East Korea.
“This behavior is unacceptable,” he said. “The East Koreans are making us look like idiots.”
While stressing that he remained, for the most part, an isolationist, he said, “I will do everything in my power as President to support our allies in West Korea.”
He also blasted the Obama Administration for its “lack of transparency” in conducting foreign policy. “I think it’s unconscionable that I just found out about these countries today,” he said.
@edgarblythe,
Why does this guy who knows nothing continue to embarrass himself. Doesn't he have people around him to inform him to keep his mouth shut? LOL
@edgarblythe,
I am speechless (almost).
If you made up a story like Gary Johnson, nobody would believe you.

Quote:Washington (CNN)Libertarian vice presidential hopeful Bill Weld said Friday that he's "not sure anybody is more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States," the latest misstep in what's been a painful week for the third-party ticket.
Johnson is about what the Republicans would have probably nominated instead of Trump, had the situation on the ground been different. I am definitely not a fan.
Thinking of voting for Gary Johnson? Ask yourself these questions:
Want to eliminate the minimum wage? Pass the TPP? End federal spending on healthcare and education? Abolish environmental regulations because someday the Sun will swallow the Earth?
If you said "Yes" to all, then voting Libertarian is for you.

I defended him to Izzy as not stupid, re the Aleppo debacle. I prefaced it by saying I'd never vote for him (I've much disagreement) but not automatically taking him as stupid on a tv question he didn't get.
I give up, being dead wrong.
@ossobucotemp,
Ok, my guy was Justin Trudeau. Sniff, no one asked. Given more attention, I'd probably find stuff wrong with him too. So, I'll stop paying attention. I'm tired of all these mad men.
Which doesn't mean I'm mad for Hillary Clinton, as anyone who has read my stuff knows.
Of course I will vote for her.
@ossobucotemp,
The reason I will vote for Hillary is based on the fact that she has spent her life to better the lives of children all around the world.
Her treatment of her emails is a non-issue when I look upon her total character.
She has already admitted it was a mistake, and she won't do it again. That's good enough for me! Her future contribution to children is more important. I don't know of another person who can be a better advocate for the children of this world.

@cicerone imposter,
I know and agree with this.
The question is: who cares?
I'm entirely surprised how many people in the US are for this guy.
Scary city.
