Quote:I don't think people voting for Johnson are that worried about an oversight like this. It's not about the vote, it's about sending a message. 

Yes, and no. I'm concerned that Johnson didn't know what Aleppo was, and I think it speaks to a lack of foreign policy experience on his part. But compared to the alternatives, like Trump's apparent desire to rent a cabin for the winter and share it with Vladimir Putin and Clinton's extensive experience in making the rest of the world mad at us, I'd still throw my vote in favor of Johnson. I mean, I'd rather have a President who knows there's a city at the heart of the Syrian conflict but can't remember its name that someone who wants to make it great again.

 

That said, I don't think Johnson's the guy for the Libertarian Party to ride into prominence. He's got all the opportunities in the world to throw his party into the limelight thanks to Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber anchoring the big tickets. Instead, he puts people to sleep during a CNN special dedicated solely to promoting his message and is caught completely at a loss on one of the major issues of the election. I'll probably vote for him in hopes of getting the Liberatarian Party access to federal campaign funds in 2020, but he doesn't seem to be ready for the big job, which really sucks.
