I like that Johnson owns his shit too. And, I like a lot of his platform. He's taken more potential votes from Clinton than I originally expected he would. Gary's not a third party candidate worthy of consideration any longer though, in my view.
Not knowing 'Allepo' was really ignorant. Not being able to name one single world leader that he respects is unforgivably ignorant or airheaded, to me.
I saw Gary on Bill Maher like 4 or 5 months ago and he said he was fully committed to not smoking pot at all during the campaign, nor would he if elected. He's huge on legalization of marijuana (which attracts a lot of millenials), was the CEO of a cannabis company, and has been a regular pot smoker for a very long time.
He told Maher that he's abstaining because he's fully aware that the duties of a campaign and a presidency make indulging imprudent and irresponsible (my paraphrase). During that interview several months back, Gary said that he hadn't smoked in 7 weeks (since he'd actively launched is campaign).
Then, just the other day when asked the last time he smoked, Gary again answered that that it had been 7 weeks. So, either Gary didn't have the will/ability to keep his abstinence commitment several months ago, or time is standing still for Gary, or he's not that knowledgeable/serious about running.
Bill Weld would have been better at the top of the Libertarian ticket than Gary Johnson, in my opinion. Weld seems a little surprised by Gary's missteps himself. Yesterday he told Shmirkonish on CNN that rumors of him dropping out as Johnson's VP running mate were false. He also, however, confirmed his previous statement about Hillary Clinton being the most qualified candidate in the race. Weld does not want to see Trump leading the country. He may be stuck between a rock and a hard place. If Clinton loses by less votes than Gary Johnson racks up, Johnson and Weld will likely be cast as the new Ralph Naders.
