Libertarian candidate and former Republican Gary Johnson had the biggest fail of all last Friday. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2016\/09\/gary-johnson-aleppo-227873\" target=\"_blank\">When questioned about the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo, Johnson replied with a perplexed look on his face, &#8220;What is Aleppo?&#8221;<\/a>. Not good! Not good at all&#8230;especially for someone who would be making vital decisions in this region for years to come. He&#8217;s running for President of the United States, not President of the PTA. He did recover somewhat and even took responsibility for the gaffe saying he needed to do better. But the damage was done. We&#8217;re guessing that maybe Johnson should&#8217;ve laid off the weed before the interview. The disturbing thing is&#8230;he still knows more than Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4958\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4958\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4958\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/garyjohsonaleppomarxgaffe.jpg\" alt=\"Libertarian presidential candidate, Gary 'Dude' Johnson' explains that Aleppo was the funniest of the Marx Brothers.\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/garyjohsonaleppomarxgaffe.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/garyjohsonaleppomarxgaffe-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Libertarian Presidential candidate, Gary &#8216;Dude&#8217; Johnson, explains that Aleppo was the funniest of the Marx Brothers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week was a bad week for everyone involved with the farce known as Con-a-thon 2016, (especially we the people who have to endure this shit).
