To be fair, the question wasn't about naming a foreign leader, but about naming a foreign leader that he admires. There isn't a single country in the world run by libertarians, or even with libertarians in high office outside of the US, as far as I know, and if you are libertarian, you look up to other libertarians. It's like being an antitheist and being asked which religion you admire.

The Libertarian agenda is scary.

There is no foreign leader to admire. It's a trick question. No matter who he chooses, he would be "wrong". Gary Johnson is the only candidate talking about balancing the budget to start paying off our nation debt. Honesty is not a gaffe and it's pretty humble to joke about a previous "gaffe" that, again, only expressed his genuine honesty. Why do you guys take honesty forgranted when the other candidates are liars and hypocrites? "To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816.

Speaking of Aleppo you guys should do a video on it. Your coverage of Syria has been almost non existent. I get that its a complicated issue in some ways and I'm not asking you to take any sides. Just do a video on the ways in which it is uncomplicated, such as the fact that the Syrian regime and Russia are currently flattening one of the ancient cradles of civilization. The city used to have 2 million people, there are 250,000 left. There are only 5 hospitals left (or probably less by now, idk) due to the most aggressive systematic targeting of medical facilities and workers in the history of warfare. They've been forced to literally dig underground to set up hospitals, and even those aren't safe from the regime's "bunker-buster" bombs. Isn't this something you empathetic libs should give a damn about!? There was a recent viral video where a UN ambassador from the Assad regime was asked by a reporter about the regime's recent bombing of two hospitals, and his response was to laugh like a Disney villain and walk away. That should be something you can work with TYT!
