Johnson can't name one world leader - I named 5 before he named one

[CajunBlazer]

And I am absolutely terrible with names.

Not ready for prime time!

[Thinkingabout]

1. I am seriously getting concerned about Gary Johnson, he looks so very lost when he is ask

about things he should have some knowledge, not looking good for Johnson.

[spooky3]

2. Here we have white male candidates who are ignorant of

Even the most basic matters viewed as better, by substantial #s of Americans, than a far more qualified woman. I wish I could say it is unbelievable.

[Thinkingabout]

4. Good point, just happens both of them are running for president.

[PatSeg]

18. He really comes across as

very spacey and laid back. He isn't really putting much thought or effort into his campaign. Maybe he didn't really quit smoking weed.

3. why wasn't Weld the Prez nominee?

[Agschmid]

6. I'm going to be surprised if he doesn't remove himself from the ticket.

[onenote]

9. I just started a new thread making exactly that point.

Great minds and all that....

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Weld seems to be a well educated and well spoken person.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. He's a fraud. He is a UFO guy.

How is it that a ahit for brains could be getting ANY percent of the vote? Are people really this dumb?

[oasis]

7. Johnson's such a sappy doo doo, how was he ever elected governor?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Sappy doo-doo ! ROFLMAO

[CajunBlazer]

8. One reason I like Johnson over Trump...

....(though I have several) is that when a question stumps him he admits it instead of trying to
BS his way out of the situation.

[grossproffit]

10. Not the best spokesperson for the legalization of marijuana. He's either an idiot or has memory loss

[CTyankee]

11. which ones? I came up with 3 off the top of my head...

Jinping, Putin and Castro. Well, 4 if you count Queen Elizabeth. And I should since she is head of lots of countries that were in the British Empire.

[DesertRat]

17. And Pope Francis

He didn't even think of one of the most popular world leaders.

[PatSeg]

19. He was asked

to name one foreign leader that he admired the most. Hopefully it wouldn't have been Putin, though Trump might have said that. I thought of Justin Trudeau or Angela Merkel.

[CajunBlazer]

24. Well, the question was a little narrower than I posted

He was asked what world leaders would he like to work with - Jinping, Putin and Castro probably wouldn't be good answers.

[CTyankee]

26. Oh, well, then yes you are right! Merkel comes to mind...

certainly the British PM, all of the NATO countries. Then there are the Asian countries so Abe of Japan would be one.

[CajunBlazer]

27. Yep, Merkel was the first one I thought of too

actually, whatshisname, Johnson's VP running mate, mentioned Merkel after it was clear Johnson was going to come up with any names.

[Ratty]

29. I could name 5

But I've just surprised myself by not knowing who exactly is Britain's PM now days. Is it still Cameron? I don't think so. Feeling kinda stupid just now.

[CTyankee]

30. Isn't it Teresa May?

My husband knew that right away.

[Madam45for2923]

12. His face when trying to answer: TOTAL DOOFUS !

[HenryJ]

13. "Ready for prime time"?

Johnson is a place holder and a spoiler.

He does not need to know any stuff.

[CajunBlazer]

25. But a lot more qualified than Stein

which is saying absolutely nothing.

[Sunlei]

14. He'd regain some credibility if he'd accept he has no chance, understood republicans are using him.

Stood up, resigned, back Clinton and use his 'war chest' (republican) donation money for the good of all Americans.

[CajunBlazer]

32. It isn't clear which candidates he is pulling votes from....

Maybe more would go to Trump than Hillary. Now if you want to be sure Hillary will be helped by the exit of a 3rd party candidate, persuade Stein to quit, but that ain't going to happen.

[DesertRat]

15. That was tough to watch. Cringeworthy.

[Coyotl]

16. Gary Johnson seemed stumped at first, then finally responded, "Obi-Wan Kenobi." LOL

21. *snort*

20. According to Andy Borowitz on FB

28. He got the endorsement from the Detroit News-not kidding nt

[NewJeffCT]

31. He is the former governor of New Mexico

there is no friggin' excuse for him NOT to know the current president of Mexico and at least the two or three previous presidents as well. They're right next door! If you don't like them, you say, "Well, I wouldn't put President Nieto of Mexico on that list..."

I mean, I live in Connecticut and know Nieto is the current president there, and Vincente Fox is a former president who said that Mexico isn't paying for a fucking wall.
