Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson admits he does not follow foreign affairs
NY Daily News ^ | October 4, 2016 | Jason Silverstein

Bumbling Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson wandered onto national television Tuesday to finally admit, with pride, that he does not study trivial things like world leaders and foreign nations.

“If that’s a disqualifier, so be it,” Johnson hollered on CNN, echoing a line he coughed up last month after he failed to recognize Syria’s largest city.

Johnson — baring bedhead hair and yelling nearly every time he opened his mouth — ostensibly appeared to defend his month of stunning ignorance about world affairs. In recent live TV appearances, Johnson didn’t know what Aleppo is and said “nobody got hurt” in a New York City bombing that hurt 31 people.

Gosh Gary, I think we all figured that out. You look stoned & sound stupid every time I have seen you on the teevee.

Johnson is a liberal wacko, but I guess this is why the Daily News is going after him with their absurd questions - they’re afraid he’ll take votes away from their beloved corrupt and utterly incompetent Hillary. I gotta say I can’t name the largest city in Syria, the president of Turkmenistan, the average July tonnage that goes through the Suez canal, the president of the Ivory Coast, etc.

INTERVIEWER: "Mr. Johnson, name one of the 50 states."

GARY JOHNSON: "Cleveland."

The MSM now realizes the Johnson Ploy isn’t going to do anything other than possibly push NM into the Trump camp.
The knives are going to come out for Gary.

But Johnson is no doubt up to speed on recreational drug legalization and looks like he already partakes.

Not the best recommendation, since Foreign Affairs is primarily the President’s job.

Is “I’m so wasted!” his campaign slogan?

I doubt a lot of his supporters are gonna bother to vote, anyway.

It’s not like they’re that motivated...to do anything.

The best he can do is tip NM to Trump.

The only people voting for Gary Johnson are stoners that think marijuana is the penicillin of our generation. That’s it.
