Libertarian presidential candidate, Gary Johnson, was on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday morning. Interviewer Mike Barnicle asked him a straightforward question:
Barnicle: “What would you do if you were elected about Aleppo?”
Johnson: “About…?”
Barnicle: “Aleppo”
Johnson: “And what is Aleppo?”
Barnicle: “You’re kidding.”
Johnson: “No.”
Johnson’s record as the Governor of New Mexico was excellent. The problem is that the world is a great deal larger than one state. Becoming the President of the United States offers challenges like no other. It is not a job which offers “on-the-job training.
Our president must have knowledge of every major event within our nation and those threatening peace around the world.
In all fairness to Governor Johnson, I’m fairly sure that Donald Trump would not have had an honest answer for the same question.
In these dangerous and challenging times, our next president must be able to “hit the ground running.” Electing a man such as Trump, who knows absolutely nothing about government would be nothing less than a disaster.
Hillary Clinton’s vast experience in the service of our country offers the American people their best opportunity for experiencing feelings of both hope and security. While a desperate Republican Party continues to criticize Hillary’s use of personal e-mails while our Secretary of State, Democrats can proudly point to the fact that as the Secretary of State, she has established relations with many of the world’s leaders. Her experience as a United States Senator offeres her a familiarity and understanding of legislators who are responsible for passing necessary laws and regulations; on both sides of the aisle. As First Lady, she was allowed to establish relationships with the leaders of our Armed Forces, and earned their respect when she became Secretary of State.
There are differences between Trump and Johnson. Johnson is a serious man who truly cares about the people of our nation. Trump is not. Although Johnson is not fully qualified to be our nation’s Commander in Chief, he does understand government. According to past infractions, Trump is not qualified to run his own business. Johnson is a patriot; Trump would destroy the America of our founding fathers. Finally, Johnson is anti-war, and anti-nuclear proliferation. According to Trump’s own statements, he is anxious to gain control of the nuclear codes.
Not one true American should support Donald Trump. He is everything that is wrong with our nation. His goal is power and fame; he has no intention of “making America great again.” Trump’s idea of greatness is a return to white supremacy, the elimination of women in the workplace, and closing our borders to anyone he deems unworthy. He has failed to offer a single concrete proposal for the betterment of the working class. He claims that he would defeat ISIS, and protect ourselves and our allies from North Korea’s dictator; but his “solutions” are a “secret.”
Get serious America. Donald Trump is a bad joke played upon the American people by Republican leadership.
Take a look at respected Republicans who oppose him. His GOP supporters are simply ambitious men and women who are attempting to resurrect their failed careers.
Here in Nevada, both of our Senators oppose a Trump presidency, including Republican Dean Heller. Our Republican Governor, Brian Sandoval refuses to endorse Trump
For the future of America, please re-post this. The media continues to hide the truth. Thank you
