After his last gaff, I'm not so sure any more. If you can't name a single world leader and don't know what Aleppo is, I am forced to question your foreign policy chops.

Hell, I can't name any living world leader I look up to. I can name plenty of Infamous world leaders!

His VP pick appears to be far more knowledgeable on the issues and world leaders then him

You pick a running mate who strengthens your weaknesses to provide the most well rounded ticket you can.

Historically a vote for the third party candidate is a vote against the republican nomoniee for president.

LCDR (Join to see) - Johnson appears to be pulling about equally from Trump and Clinton, while Stein is pulling only from Clinton.
Anyway, My sincere hope is that Clinton wins. I am a social liberal and a fiscal moderate, and see Trump as the most dangerously incompetent candidate of our entire history.
Even with a "good" Republican (I donated to both Graham and Bush in the same maximum amount I did to Clinton), I would still vote for Clinton because my biggest issue this cycle is the Supreme Court, and I absolutely do NOT want a religious conservative majority protecting a fundamentalist Christian's right to discriminate, undoing marriage equality or taking away a woman's right to choose.

LTC (Join to see) - Well those are at least clear reasons to support your candidate.

LCDR (Join to see), assuming, for the sake of argument that your statement is correct, I still don't see the downside to supporting Johnson. I support Johnson because I agree with his positions, but if he doesn't win, I would rather see Clinton in office instead of Trump. Clinton's a liar and not to be trusted, but Trump's a racist demagogue who doesn't have a clue. He would be far more dangerous in office than HRC would be.
