Commentary by Dr. Patrick Slattery — This piece from the Daily Stormer portrays the start of the meltdown of Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. One questions left unanswered is whether the collapse of Johnson, whose campaign is polling as well as any third-party candidate over the past 20 years, will benefit or hurt Trump. After all, there is typically little or no difference in the spread between Trump and Hillary whether the choice is just between the two of them or if Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are included as choices. So it would seem as if it would be a wash.
But my guess is that Trump will benefit, as many Johnson supporters who prefer Hillary in a one-on-one match up with Trump will choice Jill Stein over the war-monger Hillary at the voting booth. After all, they have already shown they are willing to vote for a Quixotic third-party candidate.
Stoner Gary Johnson Spills Bong on Live TV — “Dude, Like, What’s Allepo?”

Libertarian presidential nominee and former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson, who is (and I kid not) also the president and CEO of Cannabis Sativa Inc., bungled a relatively simple question on foreign policy on the Morning Joe show. Cannabis Sativa is a company that produces marijuana for recreational and (((medicinal))) uses.
When asked what he would do about Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and the focal point of civil war for the past five years, Johnson failed to even identify it as a geographic entity.
CNN:
Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson stumbled while answering a question about the Syrian refugee crisis on Thursday, asking “What is Aleppo?” in an interview on MSNBC.
Aleppo is a major city in Syria that’s been engulfed by the civil war there and the refugee crisis, but Johnson seemed confused when “Morning Joe” co-host Mike Barnicle asked him: “What would you do if you were elected about Aleppo?”
“About?” Johnson said.
“Aleppo,” Barnicle responded.
Johnson paused and said: “And what is Aleppo?”
“You’re kidding …” the incredulous Barnicle answered.
“No,” Johnson said.
“Aleppo is in Syria — it’s the epicenter of the refugee crisis,” Barnicle said.
“OK. Got it. With regard to Syria, I do think it is a mess,” the Libertarian nominee said.
is the same Gary Johnson who last June went on CNN and claimed that “marijuana does not make you stupid.” This is just semantics. Lazy, unmotivated, and unable to concentrate is a pretty good proxy for stupidity. Anyway, if it were good for you, then why does (((Hollywood))) and the rest of the (((media))) push it so?
Host Joe Scarborough, though, pressed Johnson on his confusion about Aleppo.
“Aleppo is the center of a lot of people’s concerns across the planet about the terrible humanitarian crisis that is unfolding not only in Syria, but especially in Aleppo. You asked, ‘What is Aleppo?’ Do you really think that foreign policy is so insignificant that somebody who is running for president of the United States shouldn’t even know what Aleppo is, where Aleppo is, and why it is so important?” he asked.
…
In a follow up interview just after the show with Bloomberg News’ (((Mark Halperin,))) a frequent guest analyst on “Morning Joe,” Johnson said he was “incredibly frustrated” with himself but admitted he’d been caught flat-footed.
“Not remembering or identifying that that’s Aleppo — guilty,” he said. “I understand the significance. Genuinely — believe me, no one is taking this more seriously than me. I feel horrible.”
He added: “I have to get smarter, and that’s just part of the process.”

Hillary Clinton swiped at Johnson for the gaffe when she was asked about his stumble during a news conference early Thursday.
“Well, you could look on a map and find Aleppo,” she said.
Yes, and there are tons of corpses in Aleppo who wished you hadn’t found Aleppo on a map, you sadistic bitch! Look, a stoned ignoramus is infinitely preferable to a sociopathic hag who will snuff men, women, and children if it will ingratiate her with Jewish campaign donors.
Later, during an appearance on ABC’s “The View,” Johnson continued to address the gaffe.
“There’s no excuse. I was thinking in terms of an acronym – Aleppo,” he explained. Johnson also said he thought the question was a fair one since he’s running for president.
Co-host Joy Behar told Johnson, “I think it’s a disqualifying statement, frankly.”
“Fair enough. Fair enough,” Johnson replied.
Johnson is running because he feels there are enough people out there too stoned to be able to choose between a sober successful GOD EMPEROR and a brain-damaged alcoholic lesbian. Offered the alternative of a vaguely effeminate stoned cuck, some polls are showing up to 10% supporting Johnson.
If Johnson’s campaign goes up in a puff of smoke, it is unclear whether Trump or Hillary will benefit more. It would be a good time for Trump to make the case for sobriety.
