Gary Johnson is an ignorant fool. Who cares?

Apparently, he never reads a newspaper nor watches television news. Again, who cares?

He is the nominee of the Libertarian Party. No such nominee will be elected as President during any of our lifetimes, so his apparently deliberate ignorance is really a non-issue.

The Libertarian Party is irrelevant. It is the home party of a bunch of know-nothings who are so locked into their concepts of individual liberties that they have no connection to the larger society.

I do not care what Gary Johnson knows or does not know. He has and will have no impact on my life whatsoever.

This election is between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Nobody else matters one whit.

GOTV for Hillary!

A person who supports building public roads as long as they connect to the streets in their gated community.

want anyone building or using any roads anywhere near their iconoclastic residences. I am perfectly happy to let Libertarians live out their misanthropic lives without encroaching on them. Let them isolate themselves from the society they appear to dislike so much. Their welcome to their sad, limited existence, as far as I am concerned.

Still, there is a large surplus of Linux consultants, so I'm not sure how their earn money for what needs they might have.

Let them get to their enclaves on the public roads, then dig a deep, wide ditch across the road leading to it.

I'm sorry, but libertarians bore me.

Besides drug laws is there any other significant difference between Republicans and Libertarians?

Social issues and foreign policy.

They'll let LGTBs marry, as long as they can still discriminate against them.

he's pulling more from Clinton than from Trump in a 4-way. So take him out of the mix, Clinton does better.

I don't want this guy to get 15% in the polls needed to get on the debate stage. Hopefully his display of ignorance will help a lot to keep him off that stage.

headlights when ask about Aleppo, I was shocked and think perhaps he shocked the crew at MJ also. This along makes Gary Johnson also unfit to be president. My, My, does anyone ever listen to whom they are placing as nominees for president, this position needs someone who is aware of world events and the basic needs of being president.

Help Hillary win in a landslide. That is the best approach to this election.

The rest is just a distraction, frankly.
