"Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson revealed on Thursday that he is abstaining from using marijuana while he runs for the White House.
"During an interview with USA Today, Johnson was asked how long it’s been since he's taken the drug.
"It's been about seven weeks," he responded, adding that he would not partake in the drug during his term if he’s elected. "I want to be completely on top of my game, all cylinders." "

'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

I think his candidacy ended this morning. Saw it live. He will not recover.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

It will probably follow him the rest of his life. I'm genuinely curious who it will help more, Hillary or Trump.
Too bad, I can't help but like the guy. I would have liked to have seen him reach 15% and join the debates.

Most people consider minor drug use a youthful indiscretion and will basically ignore it as a person gets older, wiser, and more mature. We aren't to the point yet of wanting to elect someone who has managed to abstain for a couple of months to the Presidency...

He said the same thing on Bill Maher weeks prior and it was no big deal. Legally purchased marijuana edibles I believe. He never stop a good chance anyway, but you never know.

I only posted about the weed as a secondary comment. Maybe some people missed the "Aleppo" story this morning.
Just to be clear, a reporter asked him what he would do about Aleppo as president. To which he replied, "What is Aleppo?" And he was serious. It was a monumental error.

I was wondering because obviously I had no idea what Alleppo was, where Alleppo was more specifically now I know. Life was better before all the Muslims started going crazy that's for sure.Quote: bobbartopI only posted about the weed as a secondary comment.

That's a great context. Most of us wouldn't know Alleppo from any/or many other middle eastern cities without the rise in terrorism and "war" etc..

Given only the city name, it's highly unlikely that Trump could have followed this prompt. And, it's kind of too bad that the media will just keep spoonfeeding him so that he's not allowed to prove me right or wrong before we have to decide whether or not he's capable of actually leading the country.

"Aleppo?"
Isn't that what poor folks scrape out of the can and eat for dinner?
Whatever, Gary still has my vote: I vote Libertarian whenever possible.
So far as weed, he could pull a Bill Clinton and say about the medible: "I ate it, but I didn't digest it."

While I don't think Johnson is qualified to be POTUS, especially after something like this, I may still vote for him.
He never had a chance of becoming president, but the reasoning behind voting for him is to get momentum behind the libratarian party.

So he felt he had to appear an idiot to put him on equal footing with the other candidates.

When I watched it, I thought the guy asking the question misspoke and was asking a question about dog food.

Not a fan of the guy, but I don't consider it a major error. I believe his explanation that he was caught off guard by the question and was racking his brain to try and remember what it was an acronym for. He wasn't qualified to be President before, and he still isn't. So, minor error.
I knew what it was, but it wasn't on top of my brain and I had to think. OTOH, I'm not running for President.

If constant lies, using a personal email server for classified material, seeking out and installing a program to wipe clear evidence on your computer, stealing items from the white house as departing First Lady, letting Americans die in benghazi and deceiving the American people about what happened, hiding the very serious possibility that you have Parkinson's Disease, magically can't find any of the 13 cell phones used to access classified material, risking the lives of many, stealing money from a foundation in your name for personal gain and about 10 other serious issues, aren't "monumental errors", how could not knowing the details of a small foreign city be one??
