"I'm an idiot," Johnson responded. "Really. I'm the dumbest guy that you've ever met in your whole life."

"I'm trying to work out if that's sarcasm or not," Lewis replied.

"It is," Johnson said. "I hope it's sarcasm."

He went on to reference his high-profile gaffe on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" in September, when he responded to a question about the Syrian civil war by asking: “And what is Aleppo?”

"I'm not a dummy," Johnson went on. "I'm not."

I think Gary Johnson needs a nap. And maybe a snack of a cookie and some milk.

2. Okee!

9. "I hope it's sarcasm." Paging Dr. Freud. Presidential Candidate Meltdown in Aisle 6.

4. Does he need help?

I know he's a Libertarian but he seems even more unbalanced than they usually are.

5. "Everyone is so mean to me."

6. At least he is not a crook.

[yellowcanine]

14. Logic says you can't actually conclude that though.

Being a dummy and a crook are not mutually exclusive.

[gordianot]

15. In terms of personal denial which carries at least some weight.

8. Has anyone told him Weld has pretty much abandoned him.

10. Geez

Sounds like the voices in his head are arguing in this interview. I like to take a toke myself now and again, but good grief Gary have another hit...

[dalton99]

11. Man.

[BlueStreak]

12. When you have to insist "I am not a dummy", well ...

that's because you are.

Nixon: "I am not a crook"

Obviously practically all of Johnson's polling support is from people trying to lodge a "none of the above" complaint. The question is whether any of them will bother to vote -- and will they still be in protest mode when they actually cast their ballot.

I bet Johnson gets less than 3% of the popular vote nationwide. If a person is protesting, they might as well stay home. Giving this idiot a vote isn't much of a protest.

13. Watch the end of this video. It proves beyond a doubt that he's dummy.

[lonestarnot]

17. I'm beginning to see why his own running mate pretty much unendorsed him.

Guy seems to be a bit slow on the uptake.

[yellowcanine]

22. That might be what triggered this meltdown.

[Roland99]

18. He really is clueless

I don't get the Libertarian Party. Their candidates, when looked at with the slightest bit of analysis, fall apart and crumble before your eyes. wrt to policy and personality.

But this lunatic is polling about 7%??

[procon]

19. Johnson also claimed that he is not a crook or a witch. nt

[yellowcanine]

20. He turned his running mate into Newt Gingrich!

[Me.]

23. Is That Like The

'I am not a witch' denial?

[yellowcanine]

24. But will he float?

[brooklynite]

25. "I'm not a witch..."

If you have to say it...

[appleannie1]

26. Don't forget to warm that milk.

[lapfog_1]

27. No... he really is a moron

or make that "moran"

[stopbush]

28. Au contraire..

[Loki Liesmith]

29. Fine. Burnout stoner then.

Better?
