Cool. You can be a miserable cynic and vote for some moron all you want. I'm gonna vote with my gut, and win or lose at least I'll know I did my part to try to get the actual right candidate in office instead of a lying **** or obnoxious windbag.

Either that or, you know, you're kinda reaching like a trapeze artist because that's literally not what the question was. You're all getting too desperate now.

We're desperate because your boy has now choked twice on national television, AND created his own meme on top of it?

Oh no, he choked twice. God forbid we elect an actual human being instead of some political robot that just says what their advisors tell them to say.

Which is why the only time the liberal media mentions Johnson is when he goofs, and why Obama is telling people that a vote for Johnson is just a vote for Trump. Let's face it, he's pulling votes from both sides of the aisle. In a CNN poll after the debate, when asked which candidate the debate made the respondent more likely to vote for, 47% of respondents voted Neither. If Johnson gets on the stage, he has a solid shot.

Who cares? I know I can't think of a current leader, foreign or domestic, that I particularly admire. And besides, he's a libertarian, they're not exactly known for admiring government. I think it's entertaining that the main parties are still grasping at straws and scared as Johnson's popularity goes up and up.

In my opinion it was a gotcha question. Johnson is well aware of what's going on over there, and the interviewer could easily have asked "What do you think about the crisis in Syria", but instead said "what do you think of Aleppo". I wouldn't know what the hell the guy was talking about either. At least he owned up and admitted his mistake and committed to doing better, which is far above what the other 2 would have done.

If "I don't know where it is" is the standard for a gotcha question, then asking about Syria is a gotcha question - most Americans don't know where Syria is either. As long as we're going to lob Johnson softballs, maybe we shouldn't go throwing obscure country names out without providing him a map showing where they are?

I disagree. Anybody who's been following the election at all knows something is going on in Syria. The refugee crisis has been in the headlines as a key point of the debate for months. Asking about Syria isn't a problem because it's borderline common knowledge that something is going down there. It's quite a different thing to ask about some random ass city in the country that's supposedly the "center" of the crisis. He didn't ask where Aleppo is either, so most people not knowing where Syria is isn't a valid argument. He asked what Aleppo is, since he thought it was an acronym for something.

Blinking Spirit with all due respect I think you're wrong. The voters in this election are far more disenfranchised with the available options from the leading 2 parties than they were in the '92 election. The voters want a third option, and Johnson in the debates will show them there is one.

I like Johnson for president, especially when you square him against the 2 dunces the main parties have put up, but the debates are key. If he can get into the debates I think he has a reasonable chance at winning the presidency. If he doesn't make the debates he doesn't have a shot, but his poll numbers are going up every day, and I'm confident he can make it into the debates.
