dino.......... that's not what Johnson thought Aleppo was. He (quite unfortunately for him) didn't recognize the question as it was phrased. Some claim he just didn't know that Aleppo was in Syria.......... I kinda doubt that myself. I figure he probably knew that somewhere in his head but I reckon it wasn't foremost on his mind when asked and rather confusedly blurted out "...and what is Aleppo?" (I think my quote is accurate-----feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
I suppose that's one of the biggest obstacles to breaking the 2 party stranglehold on our government, at least at the Presidential level, as any minor party candidate just doesn't have the resources, advisors,handlers, etc to be able to prepare the candidate for any conceivable situation or question at any time.
I, while acknowledging Johnson as not perfect, actually thought he was one of the best (actual) outsiders to run for President since, oh maybe 1998. Wasn't that Paul's first try? I'm talking Daddy not Red-light Rand. Back when Paul was still pure. Nuts maybe, but pure. lol
