Well, this is embarrassing.
As is being widely reported with decent coverage, Gary Johnson has failed to name a single living foreign leader, during an hour-long interview with Chris Matthews.
"Who's your favorite foreign leader?" Matthews asked.
"Who's my favorite?" Johnson replied.
"Anywhere in the continents," Matthews said. "Any country. Name one foreign leader that you look up to."
William Weld, Johnson's running mate, chimed in with an assist: "I'm with Shimon Peres."
"I'm talking about living, okay?" Matthews said. "You gotta do this. Any continent. Canada, Mexico?"
"I guess I'm having an Aleppo moment," Johnson said.
"In the whole world!" Matthews said. "Anybody in the world."
"I know, I know," Johnson said.
"Pick any leader," Matthews said.
"The former president of Mexico," Johnson said.
"Which one?" Matthews said.
"I'm having a brain freeze," Johnson said.
This is, well, not good for Johnson.
Spread the word: Jill Stein and Gary Johnson are polling badly for a reason. They are not viable alternatives, they are bad candidates.
