>Asked to name his favorite foreign leader, or any foreign leader he admires, Libertarian nominee for president Gary Johnson was unable to come up with an answer.

>The exchange occurred on an MSNBC town hall hosted by Chris Matthews Wednesday night.

>When Johnson hesitated at the initial question, Matthews said, "Go ahead, you gotta do this. Anywhere. Any continent. Canada, Mexico, Europe, over there, Asia, South America, Africa. Name a foreign leader that you respect."
>It continued:

> Johnson: I guess I'm having an Aleppo moment in the former president of Mexico.

> Matthews: But I'm giving you the whole world.

> Johnson: I know, I know, I know.

> Matthews: But I'm giving you the whole world. Anybody in the world you like. Anybody. Pick any leader.

> Johnson: The former president of Mexico.

> Matthews: Which one?

> Johnson: I'm having a brain ... "

>Johnson's running mate, vice presidential nominee Bill Weld, sat next to him and eventually jumped in to offer the name of former Mexican President Vicente Fox.

Everyone's giving this guy shit, but he wasn't asked to name a foreign leader, period. It was one that he admired.

Shit, who the hell would admire the president of Mexico? Mexican politicians are only in the news for some new scandal or another, and rarely mentioned by name in the headlines. Unlike, say, Merkle who no one should look up to at this point. How many of us could actually name five U.S. politicians they admire?

Libertarianism confirmed for damaging your brain

This.
>>
>>76907
So you're saying his Aleppo moment was due to a sudden strike of honesty?

In a career politician.

>>76907
I can't name a single politician I admire anywhere in this entire world.

Jorge Mujica was pretty damn based

>Jorge Mujica
>donated 90% of paycheck
>A former urban guerrilla fighter with the Tupamaros, he was imprisoned for 13 years during the military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s
> In March 1970 Mujica was gunned down while resisting arrest at a Montevideo bar; he injured two policemen and was in turn shot six times.
>He was among the more than 100 Tupamaros who escaped Punta Carretas Prison in September 1971 by digging a tunnel from inside the prison that opened up at the living room of a nearby home
>In all, he spent 13 years in captivity. During the 1970s and 1980s, this included being confined to the bottom of an old, emptied horse-watering trough for more than two years

Truly based

Jeeeeeesus. Nowhere did he say MODERN leader, just say Winston Churchill and be done with it. Everyone knows who he is, everyone knows what he did, easy low ball.

How is it possible that no one in America can offer a sane, not-evil, smart candidate?
>>
The fucking retard couldn't even try to spin it for bonus burger points and say some shit about not being able to admire any current leaders because USA USA USA
>>
>>75458
JUST SAY THE POPE
>>
>>76984
well modern times libertard / feminazi / whatever movement paint churchill to be a total racist garbage so he couldn't have said that one, since it would drive away even the last of his libertard supporters
>>
To be fair, I think he eventually named Merkel. After struggling to remember any Mexican president's name...
>>

I admire Gary Johnson

I don't think anyone knows the names of Mexican presidents because nobody cares

Jesus, I'm pretty stupid and even I could have come with Francoise Hollande and said some bullshit about leadership in tough times.

LOlberatrians are stupid? We already knew.

And what exactly is a lolberatrian?

Apparently school has failed me as I've never seen this smart-people-only word before

This.
Now everyone will look at the headline of
>"Unable To Name A Foreign Leader, Gary Johnson Has Another 'Aleppo Moment' (w/video) "
. keep the fact that Gary Johnson is an uneducated idiot in the back of their minds, then continue to do stupid shit.

>>77192

LOLbertarian is the autistic belief in the magic qualities of the market to replace sound political decisions and just take care of everything. Is like Live action roleplaying games. But for adults and without elves and dragons.

He blew it. Yes, pun also intended.

Bill Weld said Shimon Peres and Chris Matthews was like "hurr i mean alive lol'

Which costed him my vote. Fuck Kaiserin Merkel.

If he didn't know any foreign leader he admired he should have just fucking said that there isn't really anyone he can think of that he really admires or looks up to. Then he could have segwayed into explaining why he was different than other world leaders and talk about his views on foreign policy

Seriously, that would have been based as fuck and he would have gotten him tons of good press. Instead he just made himself look like a fucking alzheimer's patient again. You can give all the reasons you want for it, but in the end the dude is still a fucking wet blanket.

Every politician fucks up when they're being asked questions. Most do it frequently, which is why they often avoid direct answers. The good ones are the ones that can see their fucking up and re-orient their response so that it actually makes them look good.
