I get you dislike the guy...That is fine. But if Johnson is unqualified?...so is Trump by your own standards And he's a narcissistic ashole to boot. Lets at least toss the hate around equally and fairly. That leaves HRC...who is an incompetent pathological liar. We are in a world of schit any way we turn it seems.

I've known a lot of people who do a bang-up job behind a desk and in private meetings, yet don't come off well in front of cameras.

Perhaps politics on such a grand public stage was never in Johnson's wheelhouse: POTUS is a different ball game than governor of semi-rural New Mexico.

But the constant "weed" references gets guffaws on late-nite talk shows, but it's a common personality type.

I think that is a fair synopsis.

both are unqualified.

Yeah, that's an easy one.

Both are children, mentally. Trump has a fast mouth, I'll give him that. Johnson can only watch the TV screen with his jaw on the floor, compared to Trump, there.

both are unqualified.

If one is? Then both are. I can live with that sentiment.

What I find abhorrent is the vitriol from these Trumpbots aimed at Johnson for a couple of stupid comments and then simply choose to ignore the DOZENS of stupid, asinine, misogynist and borderline racist comments that have rolled out of Trumps mouth over the past year. There have been so many that these people are numb to them and the hypocrisy is glaring and embarrassing. Trump is a clownish fool with a bankroll. He is no more prepared to be the leader of the free world than damn near anyone off the fcking street. The sheer audacity of his supporters to criticize anyone else's qualifications is beyond belief.

HRC... although totally incompetent at damn everything she has ever done is galaxies more qualified to lead than this balding narcissistic bozo.

I expect Hillary to be elected, and I sincerely hope that proves to be totally unqualified and inept. A competent leader with Hillary's agenda could stick a fork in the USA.

If elections were purely a discussion of policy ideologies, the LP might stand a chance to pick up more people.

But as is, GJ isn't qualified to be a leader of a popsicle stand.

And yet started a business from scratch on his own(without daddy's help) that when he sold it employed over a 1000 workers and was the largest home repair firm in his state...then ran his State for 2 terms successfully as Governor and left it will a billion dollar surplus. His personal athletic achievements and his adventure prowess run circles around anyone that has ever run for high office...or any office for that matter.

He obviously has not impressed people during this campaign and deserves criticism for that..but..the hyperbole surrounding his qualifications is unfair. His record of accomplishments speak for themselves. He simply laid an egg during this campaign and did not deserve support due to that.

And he did just fine as governor of New Mexico. HRC has been a disaster every time she has been in charge.

Actually the converse is true. Those who put on the best show are often the least competent.

It would have been hard for Johnson to win even if he had put on a good show. The game is rigged in favor of the 2 gangs and the media is coving for both of of them depending on the outlet. For example...Clinton called Mosul a "border city" during one of the debates. No one called her stupid or uninformed for saying that. Mosul is BTW not a border city at all. Gary comes off as a quirky and somewhat goofy guy. His achievements demonstrate clearly he is very competent person. He just did not shine when the camera was on him. Not everyone is used to this stage.

Other than on here I have not heard a peep about Johnson in about 6 weeks. He wasted a bunch of money in ads here in Cincinnati during the summer. He's a nonentity now.

Pretty much. Once he did not get in the debates...his campaign was pretty much over. After his performances on camera...Im not sure he would have faired well in the debates either. Not his forte IMO.
