What's Aleppo?
Gary Johnson, being quizzed by 4 hostile journalists, was asked (out of the blue) "What about Aleppo?" He responded with "What's ... Aleppo?" Negative 10 points for tired and misunderstanding a question. When clarified, he went on to say that Syria is none of our business.
Negative 20 points to the media for turning the question into "Where is Aleppo", editing off the front and back of the hostile interview, and talking up their misrepresentation as Governor Johnson's ignorance. 4 (or 8) years of Trump (far worse than negative points) to the American voters who let the media do their thinking for them.
