Libertarian VP hopeful Weld : Anyone can forget a word

But they are our allies.so the lemonade is to talk about the policy that put us in this position in the first place.

If you’re running for president of the United States it’s good to be caught up on current events, otherwise you run the risk of getting embarrassed like Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson recently was during an interview.

The former Republican Massachusetts governor said he remains hopeful Johnson will be allowed on the debate stage alongside Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Okay, so the man didn’t know what Aleppo was, but did you know what Aleppo was before yesterday? After a panelist explained Aleppo and its importance, Johnson described his opposition to interventionism. “It’s the epicenter of the refugee crisis”, the interviewer said. When reminded by MSNBC on Thursday, Johnson said he’d work with Russian Federation to find a diplomatic solution to the civil war and that the conflict was an example of the dangers of meddling in the region.

Red line ignored by Obama?

Turkey is a main supporter of the city’s rebel groups, and has sent its military to Aleppo province to fight Islamic State group extremists and rival Kurdish rebels. “Well, no, I do understand Aleppo, and I understand the crisis that is going on”, he said.

The questioner, Mike Barnicle, said, “You’re kidding”.

The Aleppo Media Centre has posted vision purporting to show victims of an aerial bombardment being pulled from a razed building.

The North Carolina newspaper said in its editorial that both Johnson and his running mate, Bill Weld, were effective governors who worked with Democrats.

He added: “I have to get smarter, and that’s just part of the process”.

“Can I name every city in Syria? No”. I was wondering if he was talking something called ‘an Aleppo, ‘ and was confused by that. “I understand the significance”.

By the time Weld arrived, the press, eager to ask him about Johnson’s slip, practically outnumbered the students. His support needs to reach 15 percent in a series of major national polls to be included in the presidential debates.

The first debate is September 26, the cutoff point for the qualifying period is looming and short of a stunning upset, Johnson will not be on the stage.

Johnson released a statement shortly after his appearance. Though this seemed to have been bourne out of Johnson’s genuine admiration for Weld, it also lent seriousness to his candidacy. In a separate interview on ABC’s “The View” program, Johnson said that he was just trying to be as forthright about the situation as possible and made no excuses.
