[brooklynite]

Thanks for playing, Gary.

[msanthrope]

1. Jeebus. And some peopke are worried a woman might win. nt

[sarae]

6. hahaha

[msanthrope]

9. All this white male supremacy...I keep wondering "where the fuck is it?" nt

[sarae]

15. good question...

let me know if you find it!

[quitnesset]

2. That's all she wrote

Johnson just disqualified himself from the race.

[Adrahil]

10. You'd think so, but....

Trump didn't know what the fucking nuclear triad is, and here we are....

[LisaL]

22. Rules don't apply to Trump, don't ya know?

[MissMillie]

3. We have some nice parting gifts for you

(holy moley)

[procon]

4. Stunning way to end in presidential campaign.

If you want to be the president, to be the commander in chief, a basic knowledge of current events is mandatory. He failed.

[OnDoutside]

5. That was so funny, and then Halerpin runs after him to give him a second chance and he talks about

New Mexico !!!

[oasis]

19. It would be Halperin giving Johnson a second bite at the apple.

[OnDoutside]

24. Oh yeah, he toad hopped.

[rurallib]

7. Where's that one comedian with the "Here's your sign" when you need him?

here's your sign, Gary:

[MissMillie]

32. Bill Engvall

8. Video here:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/gary-johnson-asks-what-is-aleppo

The interviewer is stunned - "you're kidding". "No." "Aleppo is in Syria. It's the epicentre of the refugee crisis ..." "OK, got it."

[NewJeffCT]

16. So, Trump & Johnson

Dumb and Dumber...

Beavis & Butthead...

[joshcryer]

20. Embarrassing.

Even die hard libertarians have to be red faced about that one.

[central scrutinizer]

29. Probably not

Libertarians don't give a fuck about Americans who are struggling, and that goes double for people in other countries.

[DrDan]

11. best one-liner exit since Stockdale's "Who am I? Why am I here?"

[vlyons]

12. Johnson is an Ayn Rander

Only cares about eliminating as many Fed gov agencies, programs, services, and regulations as possible. Getting taxes as close to 0% as possible. Turning America into Galt's Gulch as quickly as possible. But foreign policy - eh not so much.

[PearliePoo2]

13. Hey Gary! Might as well head over to campaign headquarters...

pack up and turn off the lights. It's over, pal.

[superpatriotman]

14. Oh, Aleppo...

He didn't understand the regional pronunciation by the interviewer. Gary probably uses the Syrian pronunciation.

[tavernier]

18. Oh THAT Aleppo!

[LisaL]

21. But of course!

[HughBeaumont]

17. He already screwed the pooch by committing the Cardinal Sin of Political Campaigns . . .

Which dictates:

[font size="4"]Never, ever, ever, ever . . . . ever EVER tell seniors or potential retirees that you're going to take away/cut their Social Security or Medicare.[/font]

See: Bush, Jeb! and how long he lasted with that strategy . . .

[yellowcanine]

23. He had that Dan Quayle "deer in the headlights" look.

Priceless.

[bullwinkle428]

25. And people wonder why Trump wants him on the debate stage?

His presence may actually make it appear that Trump is not completely clueless, relative to Gary Johnson.

[LisaL]

26. Sounds about right.

[Coyotl]

33. Dingh, ding, ding, we have a winner.

So people will know it isn't just Trump who is stupid.

[procon]

27. And I keep reading that the military folks want to vote for this dimwit.

Maybe now they'll step back and think, then put their big girl panties on and make the only real, logical choice; Hillary!

[left-of-center2012]

28. ‘What Is Aleppo?’

"We need to find a vaccine ..........."

[muriel_volestrangler]

31. "Consult your doctor to find out if Aleppo is right for you ..."

[BootinUp]

30. It was also the way he said it, that makes it hilarious. nt

[AgadorSparticus]

34. The tweets in response have been just hilarious!

[JI7]

35. shows how many of these types are so hung up on their ideology without connection to the real world

although to be fair to johnson he has shown when he learns about specific real life things he is able to sympathize .

[Jamaal510]

36. Looks like

I was correct when I said that Hillary Clinton is running against a bunch of clowns. Johnson came up blank on something that every person running for president should know, Stein is bad at geography and has questionable views on wi-fi, and Trump is Trump. She's the only sane choice out of those 4...

[redStateBlueHeart]

37. I've seen people in FB saying, "Hey, I didn't know what Aleppo was either!"

Um yeah, you're not running for POTUS though...
