Gary Johnson Goes Down in Flames

Good morning, Friends,

While everyone is rehashing Donald Trump's outrageous performance at the Commander-in-Chief Forum last night, not many are paying any attention to a major gaffe that finishes Gary Johnson as a candidate.

Asked this morning on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe', "What would you do about Aleppo?" Johnson responded, "And what is Aleppo?

A brain fart, right?

No.

I'm so busy campaigning for peace, I forgot to find out where the wars are.

Johnson honestly had no knowledge of Syria's largest city, which has been under government siege for weeks. The Syrian air force chlorine bombed it yesterday, and a non-stop aerial campaign has killed thousands of women and children there.

The story was on the front page of virtually every newspaper in the world.

How could a man running for President of the United States not know about it?

Johnson's parting words on his way out of 30 Rock were, "I guess I have to get smarter."

With just 61 days until the election, it's a little late.

No one can accuse MSNBC's Mike Barnicle of throwing a 'gotcha' question at Johnson. The discussion was about his foreign policy.

The former two-term governor came across as totally clueless. Obviously he has no one keeping him up to speed, and  as a third-party candidate, he's not getting intelligence briefings. He would not be ready for the job on day one.

Johnson's gaffe is a disqualifier. He can't be President.

But after watching Donald Trump's treasonous praise of Vladmir Putin and calling our generals "reduced to rubble" last night, I believe he's not only unqualified to be President; he should be measuring the window in his new room at the federal penitentiary.

Hillary Clinton is full of knowledge and experience. She's also full of something else.

Jill Stein is...well, she should probably change her party's name from the Green to the Utopia party.

We've got a major problem, Friends. Our choices are pretty grim.
