This sums up my feelings pretty well. He has a solid record of fiscal conservatism, which, imo, is what this country needs the most at this time.
He needs to significantly improve his foreign policy chops.

@anon50325502 trust me, I really want to believe that it was an honest mistake, but I don’t. I don’t think he knows or cares to know about foreign policy. Like I said, I let the Aleppo thing slide but at this point come on … He couldn’t even fake an answer
Matthew’s might as well of asked him who his favorite NFL player is. Who his favorite leader is is irrelevant. How would you even rate them?
He is weak on foreign policy, period. However, the question was just silliness. Can he work with foreign leaders when the need arises? That is the real question.
None of the candidates are well-rounded. Hillary’s record is atrocious both foreign and domestic. Trump has no record, has no clue about 95% of relevant topics, and no policy proposals worthy of discussion. At least Johnson has a solid gubernatorial track record on issues that matter.
Obama sure has built up a record of royaly pissing people off in this manner. He tends to go into lecture mode and then wonders why everyone is so upset…

You mean like guilt-tripping black people into voting for Hillary ? The man who once told people that voting is the best revenge will now scold black people if they step off the plantation.

So, can we talk about stuff from Trump’s past or no?

People are doing it they brought up a lawsuit from 1972 during the debate
Right and you posted how people shouldn’t do that. Now you’re posting a newspaper clipping from 1993.
So, is it cool to talk about his past or no?
Depends on who you talk to
Certainly the original colonists didn’t care for that…
Agree with both of you. And I am glad the vote was Leave. The less centralized bureaucratic power the better.

What current foreign leader should he look up to?
Even Rolling Stone abusing Johnson haha
I’m actually fine with his answer he gave - who cares? Why in the world would we want our President to look up to any world leader, especially when there are so few good ones?
And politically, there’s no safe answer - any choice would be endlessly politicked. So no answer is the best answer, even if he had a fave.
But I’d have given him an A+ if he had said “not Putin.”

Lol, ya, that’s basically why I asked.
I find it odd they are picking this particular thing to create a “moment”.
There are plenty of things on his policy positions to pick apart or discuss, but if one tweet or a stupid comment is a disqualifier the two top candidates would’ve been disqualified almost immediately.

Liberal outlets are beginning to target Johnson because they see him pulling support from Democrats as opposed to Republicans. Makes strategic sense - they don’t want to Ralph Nadered.
And that’s true from what I’ve read. But slow down and say that out loud slowly - the Libertarian Party is pulling support from Democrats, not really Republicans.
Shouldn’t that be a very serious concern? Shouldn’t that should elicit serious questions about a party that claims its lodestar is liberty?
