Three of the four major candidates for United States president have responded to America's Top 20 Presidential Science, Engineering, Technology, Health and Environmental Questions. The nonprofit advocacy group ScienceDebate.org has posted their responses online. Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Jill Stein had all responded as of press time, and the group was awaiting responses from Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

    3) I agree Johnson needs to do better as a candidate. He really missed an opportunity with "What is Aleppo?".

    He could've at least gave some vague politician answer instead of outright demonstrating his ignorance. Or he could have handled the aftermath by saying that what happens in some third world shithole is less important than the violence and issues back home, indicating that he's opposed to preemptive warfare.

    But he, like you said, wasted the opportunity. It's frustrating that Johnson seems to squishy and bumbling in an election year where he could probably get a significant amount of votes by third party standards if he wasn't handling everything so ineptly. It's almost like he doesn't think about anything or do any preparation whatsoever.
