- knowing what the non public interests are would be a big help in decision makingdeathboy
- makes me cringe when any candidate tries to answer it like the media wantsdeathboy
- what a dumbass simpleton!utopian
- Even my young kids know about Aleppo. Shows an alarming lack of knowledge.BusterBoy
- I've never heard of Aleppo. Notice how the media focuses on that though. Not on the question or if there is a right answer. Simpletons!deathboy
- Virtually anyone with ANY interest in world affairs knows about Aleppo.BusterBoy
- it would be an interesting poll for sure but i bet many people who say they have interest in world affairs would not know.deathboy
- plus add in the fact of it being a foreign sounding name and its even harder to remember. but mostly whats important is what answer did u want to hear?deathboy

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson:
"What is Aleppo?"
...
"I'll take Potent Potables for 500, Alex."

- much rather have a leader who knows what he doesn't know and will fill that in with good advisorsdeathboy
- im guessing hillary and trump would like to tell everyone they know it all. but fake it until u make it seems to work betterdeathboy
- that trickle downer is donemoldero
- Does Gary Johnson also believe that the world is flat and in creationism?utopian
- Deathboy...you're kidding right? You'd like a President this ignorant?BusterBoy
- Nodeathboy
- The best leaders are ones who know what they do not know. I'm ok with him not nailing the geography pop quiz. I'd be more concerned with his responsedeathboy
- id be happier if he laughed and said ah sneaky. Tell me how you expect me to anwser such a question here on this show.deathboy
- and than responded, with trying to clean up a fucked up situation that we helped start and learnign what information isnt public and what is the best solutiondeathboy
- for the best interests. and i'd invite people with far more experience than me to help in such matters. unless you expect a omnipotent ninja skilled presidentdeathboy
- The worst are leaders who pretend or are scared to say I dont know. See plenty of those in everyday management positionsdeathboy
- what kind of response would you have liked buster?deathboy
- the best response would have been:
how does dismantalling syria benefit us?BonSeff - would be a good response toodeathboy
- His response was perfect. It clearly demonstrated he had no real grasp of the issues surrounding Syria...BusterBoy
- you might be better politician than him with your ability to deflect buster. another reason i like him he doesn't have that talent.deathboy
- Sad state of affairs you like a man as President because he was honest in saying he has no clue. He should have a clue about stuff like this.BusterBoy
- The gradual dumbing down of everything politic.BusterBoy
- and yet you have no clue about the kind of response you would like?deathboy
- i will concede it would be great if he had more of a clue. but really i expect weld to be the foreign policy guy with his historical knowledge and xpdeathboy
- and what they cant do i think they have the know how to find ppl to do. but really think about what answer u expecteddeathboy
- lol, the best response would be ANY where he indicated he knew what Aleppo was.sarahfailin

and here is this for perspective Buster.
And yet Johnson is hardly alone when it comes to Syria gaffes. Former Obama administration ambassador to Iraq, Chris Hill, followed Johnson on Morning Joe and mocked the former New Mexico governor's "blank stare." Hill predicted that "he will now be known as 'Aleppo Johnson'" and then called Aleppo "the capital of ISIS." In fact, Raqqa, not Aleppo, is widely considered the capital of the self-declared caliphate known as the Islamic State. The New York Times incorrectly referred to Aleppo as "the capital" of ISIS three times in its quick take on Johnson's screw-up before adding a correction to the bottom of the page. Even that correction required a correction, as it initially referred to Aleppo as Syria's capital, when it is in fact, Damascus.
Foreign-policy misstatements actually are a staple of presidential elections. In 1999, George W. Bush scored 25 percent on a foreign policy quiz given to him by an NBC affiliate. He was unable to name the presidents of India, Pakistan, Chechnya, as well as the foreign minister of Mexico. During a 1976 debate with Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford insisted that "there is no Soviet domination of eastern Europe." Just last night in a forum about veterans issues and foreign policy to which Johnson was not invited, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared not to know that Libya is in a state of civil war. That the war is a result of the power vacuum created by the military intervention she aggressively pushed for while serving in Obama's cabinet makes her oversight particularly distressing.
None of these examples of past campaign gaffes excuses Johnson's "blank stare" when asked about Aleppo. He and his running mate and the Libertarian Party have been insisting that they belong on the main debate stage, where they would prove both that their ideas are viable and their ability to effectively govern is based on sound footing. Choking on a simple question about what he would do about the refugee crisis by not knowing a major Syrian city is a completely fair mistake for which to hold Johnson accountable.
But does it really serve as an unforgivable disqualifier, especially considering everyone from Hillary Clinton to Obama's former Iraq ambassador to The New York Times is clearly capable of fumbling important details at any given moment? Or is this just the excuse establishment media and staunch defenders of the two-party duopoly were waiting for to finally dismiss the highest-polling third party candidacy in 20 years? Virtually all signs point to the latter.
- Aleppo for president 2k16utopian
- whats a president?deathboy
- Not knowing what Aleppo is seems like more than a fumble to me.monkeyshine

- cultural stereo types as facts dude(s)yurimon
- i gave up on you doing any fact checking foot work. for a facts based guy you really lack intellectual stamina for examining yet leaning on your personal bias.yurimon
- Fact checking? I wasn't even talking to you, asshole. I was asking if robo was an Alex jones fan you insufferable troll.monospaced
- Only fact that needs checking are your outrageous accusations that people are defending Hillary and criminal activity. No proof. No check. Total bullshit.monospaced

https://twitter.com/…ernexbcn - holy fuck! game over...robotron3k
- this is such a non-story.fadein11
- game over?monospaced
- This is sad. The woman is not well.IRNlun6
- Whether temporary or more chronic she clearly has something. Trying to act otherwise just makes it more suspicious.IRNlun6
- ageing woman faints at hot public event... campaign over lol.fadein11
- no one giving her water? no one showing much concern? coughing earlier this week... sure, it's just nothing.IRNlun6
- Maybe a president with health problems is a good idea. blanking out, fainting, what could go wrong? passing out only to wake up and legislation signed.yurimon
- If it was an isolated incident, it might be a non-story. But it's yet another episode that legitimately raises concern about a potential president.mg33
- you can makes excuses for not remembering, nuke access and bad cognitive spacial, brain stuffs is gold. im with her.yurimon
- ^true, the very thought could make me switch from an Indi to a Dem...robotron3k
- Hillary in a presidential coma is more appealing than Trump in control of US nukes tbh.fadein11
- ah yes, always interesting to hear the misinformed and simple minded speak. thanks fadeyurimon
- from the man who is universally regarded as QBN's resident retard I will take simple minded as a compliment.fadein11
- Its not uncommon for those who are bit different, creative, imaginative or forward thinking to be ridiculed by the main stream mediocrity. its been done throughyurimon
- out history. but history revealed that those labeled crazies sometimes were correct about something that at one time everyone took for granted as common disinfoyurimon
- masquerading as fact. good day sir.gifyurimon
- as has been said many times before it's not your ideas that are the problem, it is your arrogant condescending approach. Along with the incessant trolling.fadein11
- And all your ideas are mainstream and out in the open and most of us are aware of everything you say, but you present them as new thinking - this is your majorfadein11
- flaw. Good luck with everything though.fadein11
