Spyze<\/p>\n<p>WHITEFISH, MT: Following his latest gaffe, Governor Gary Johnson\u2019s numbers have jumped as Americans find they relate closely to his ignorance of foreign governments, geography, and conflicts. Experts claim that Johnson\u2019s incompetence has resonated: as stated by political analyst Sharon Goldstein, \u201cThere are many voters who have become intimidated by politicians who have, or at least pretend to have, an inkling of what they\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, Gary knows what he\u2019s doing. I mean, the guy ran Arizona,\u201d asserted Shelley O\u2019Reilly, of Whitefish, Montana, misidentifying the state Johnson governed. \u201cBut when he forgot who that Aleppo chick was, I knew he was the guy for me!\u201d She continued, chewing a mouthful of bison balls, \u201cC\u2019mon, just lookit Trump Monday night, actin\u2019 all like he knew this Poutine guy, from Canada I guess&#8230; I\u2019mtellinya he\u2019s a phony, and Hillary\u2019s worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, while Johnson is securing votes from the &#8220;Oblivious and Apathetic&#8221; voting bloc, voters who identify as \u201cStridently Delusional\u201d are still breaking hard for Donald Trump. According to Goldstein, \u201cThese are the people who have heard of some names and places, but reject any intellectual process that might accompany them. They live in perpetual fear of gay nuclear jihadi commie Mexicans, whereas Johnson appeals to those who don\u2019t know what any of those words mean.\u201d<br \/>\nHoping to capitalize on his newfound appeal, Johnson has promised that, as President, he will appoint Sarah Palin as Ambassador to Russia and a Deer-Caught-in-Headlights as Secretary of State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Rush N.
