Headline's a bit misleading-- he doesn't blank on his name as much as he just weirdly refuses to say it-- but it doesn't look good

I firmly believe he didn't know it.

He should've refused to answer, then slipped it in later passive aggressively with a look to camera.

Over the years whenever Gary Johnson pops up on my TV screen I think "I should give him a chance" but once he gets through his 90 sec pitch and is asked questions I remember he's an idiot.

Yup. Well, the latest advisory looks better for the Democratic tri-county area and worse further up the coast, but either way it's a category 4 and gonna be pretty bad if it stays on its current path. We just finished boarding up the house so we'll see what happens.

He really is awful. This would have been a golden opportunity for a halfway competent Libertarian candidate, but yeah.

The backflips that Johnson supporters are doing over his gaffes are hilarious. People have actually been saying that he couldn't name a world leader because "why would he admire a world leader when they're all corrupt liberal shills?!?" It's so, so stupid.

Gary Johnson refused to name the North Korean dictator most likely because he doesn't want all of his interviews to turn into pop quizzes (which he would fail).

I know most international people have a general idea of big elections here in the US but how much does it actually affect you?

do you get mad if a party/person gets elected? do you just look at their foreign policy and make a decision (if you make one at all)
