Did Johnson say that this morning? If so, I missed it.

Well, but, he climbed Mt. Everest, so he can run the country.

Big oops. But he didn't stand a chance anyway.

In fairness, he was probably baked.

I have to say that's a very poorly worded question.

They should have asked that question to Trump.

He will be a protest vote for most people this year. I think the bigger point is that America's needs a viable third party. Libertarians could evolve into that even after Johnson is gone.

It was a carefully chosen gotcha question - no doubt. They prob have data that shows Johnson is stealing more votes from Hillary than from Trump.

Alas, his neocon buddies weren't going to let him forget about their sheer genius Iraq Liberation Walkover idea.

And clearly their candidate doesn't either!

Johnson is so going to get a punch to the face from Bill Weld later today.

The way MB repeated "ALEPPO" and seared into him with his eyes tells me it was an intentional attempt to expose Johnson for his ignorance.

Very doubtful. If you hate Trump; you hate Trump. If Johnson isn't the alternative someone else will be.
