Did you vote for President Trump in the prior election STL?
Nope. I wanted someone with at least some degree of intelligence. So I voted for the guy that didn’t know where or what Aleppo is.

So this is sort of the flaw in your position earlier. You’re talking about how he’s lost moderate voters like yourself, but you were never a vote? I mean, that’s fine, that’s your POV, who knows how this plays out.
That’s a very literal interpretation of my comment, but you’re correct that he never had my vote so I guess he didn’t lose it. He also hasn’t done anything to win me over either. On balance, more broadly speaking, I think that’s going to be Trump’s main problem. Many moderate republicans will at best (for Trump) stay home, and others (like myself) will defect completely and vote for Biden. I don’t see him winning people over that didn’t vote for him the first time around. In fact, I can’t recall hearing one person say they’ve shifted towards Trump, now that I think about it.
It’s a type of pepper:
Good stuff.
i was low key surprised that trump won the election who would have thought! not FNN!
Gary Johnson. The clip sounds like “what’s a leppo?”
russians did
Yeah–if you actually listen to the interview where GJ “forgot” where/what Aleppo is, you’ll see that it’s very unfair. Basically, the host completely pivoted with no advance warning, asked a question with no context, used a term that 99% of Americans are unfamiliar with (Aleppo), then tried to make GJ look like a fool for not understanding the question. A far cry from the softball, audience-planted questions that the mainstream candidates get.
Why did he say “Aleppo”? Why couldn’t he say “Syria” or “Bashar Al-Assad”? (IMHO - for the sole reason of discrediting any third-party candidate.)
He said Aleppo because everyone was talking about Aleppo at the time. It was on the news all the time
They were talking about the “Syrian refugee crisis.”
Did you watch the whole video? Or just the part that was cherry-picked to make him look stupid?
The problem is yes, he had an Aleppo moment, but he also couldn’t name a single foreign leader when prompted. To me, Aleppo got the headlines but the foreign leader flub put the nails in the coffin. The latter was inexcusable.
there should be some good questions about immigration.
One of the candidates (Biden) is a racist xenophobe who wants to build a fence because "people are driving across that border with tons, tons, hear me, tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin, and it’s all coming up through corrupt Mexico.”
The Trump wall isn’t high enough. Biden wanted to build one 40 stories high. Maybe he can include gators in a moat like Obama joked about
Aleppo was singled out in the media.
Assad was alleged to have dropped barrel bombs on it
And yes, I watched the whole video, and saw the whole interview way back when during the 2016 campaign. Johnson’s position on Syria (working with Putin and realizing that the Free Syrian Army were Al Qaeda) is eminently reasonable and pretty much the same as that advocated by General Flynn, who was Trump’s main advisor on national security issues during the campaign.
They should build a wall made of ice, 700 feet high. All the way across the southern border. The shield that guards the realms of Americans.

lol, it’s a question of where you start, isn’t it.
You chose to start with Hoover, who had the worst performing stock market of any president in the last 100 years.
You chose to omit Coolidge, who had the best performing stock market of any president in the last 100 years.
DJIA performance:+230.5 percent under Coolidge
Why not start with Eisenhower for example?
